My hubby and I were just having an interesting conversation about our recent church services which seem to be changing some.
The conversation got a little heated and I wound up asking:
"If you had two stopwatches, one in each hand, the left for the time the preacher spends talking to fill up space, the right for the time he spends teaching the Bible, how much time do you think would be on each at the end of a service?" (Dramatic hand gestures of clicking stopwatches removed
)
I guess it's obvious that I think there is a lot of joking, clowning, anecdotes, opinions, etc. going on... Certainly our pastor would never be accused of expository teaching... but my husband leans heavily on a scripture about the 'foolishness of preaching' being able to save. Well if that is the truth, we are certainly all good
So I am just wondering what others find in their services... Feel free to use the question above and express in time total/time percentage, averages or just talk about what you think is going on and if you think it is good, bad, neither, both... or anything else you might want to say, if you would please.
TIA
