Today's Sermon
What I "learned" today in church

Aw, come on, try.
Very Good! Yes, it was all about TITHING! Malachi's words were dutifully wrenched out of context and paraded around to remind the people how stingy they are. How 10% is "only the beginning". How God will not bless you till you fork over at least that much.
Then on to Sunday School, where we learned more about the apostles Phillip and Andrew than they even knew. John MacArthur, while undeniably an excellent Bible teacher, nonetheless has his blind spots as we all do. He had a book to write, and it needed lots of pages, so we learned that Phillip was some kind of bean counter who couldn't see outside the box. Now I know why I never did well on essay tests.
Oh, and we were "encouraged" to sign up for the latest incarnation of Rick Warren's "40 Days", like George Lucas releasing remake after remake of earlier StarWars movies.
Why do I put up with this? Because I haven't yet figured out how I can explain to my young children that there could be anything bad about "going to church". But I've got to work on that, before they too become accustomed to Churchianity.
