Romans 12:2,3

Since being in seminary I have learned a thing or two about that box we call the pulpit.  I can’t, in good conscious enter into that box.  Learn why by listening to the sermon or reading the sermon in PDF.

(Note: there are a few expletives in this sermon. If you feel you are likely to be offended, please don’t listen or read.)
