Amen Bro Jack. A few years ago a sister(?) remarked "Jim, Your sermons are gloomy." She wanted feel good sermons, where she was at in life w/ no repentance. Ironically, about 10 years later after they had moved 1200 miles form her, a brother straight up remarked, she is a hypocrite. I was not surprised at the remark,, but was surprised that he volunteered it our of the clear blue. It is amazing that folks think they can hold hands with worldliness and God at the same time. BTW, the menu of sermons is balanced. Currently, the series is drawing near to God. As Bro J. Franklin Camp would say to you, "Say on brother, say on."

Jack you have such great judgment to notice something like this. I'm really lucky to have found you as a teacher.

Lizzo and her entire "body positivity" movement has caused so much destruction among women. You can be morbidly obese, where skin tight clothes, fake eyelashes where you can't even see (or have stars on them as happened to be in a restaurant) or hair scraping the floor, but you are told how beautiful you are and it doesn't matter. Every time I see a female looking like this or wearing pajamas and their bonnets in public, I think "where did the self respect go?!"
