Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

[Socialite]

If I'm God and trying to make the point to southerners that I'm BIG and IN CONTROL.... I decide to use a story about a monster truck... hear me out...

So my point was to tell you I was big and in control. But along comes someone 2,000 years later, picking up my story about monster trucks (probably something people in 2,000 years will have no clue what that means or why I used it with the audience I did) and wanting to "analyze" it further. They then talk about God having an oil change, needing his tires replaced, how if God is a truck, then that means he's not a car. He's not a fine sedan, a luxurious BMW. I mean, God referred to himself as a Monster Truck!

I pity the writers who have their writing picked apart subjectively thousands of years later.

Preaching is very little about exegesis and accuracy, and more about creativity these days.
