The David Spoon Experience Part 2 5-9-2022

This 60-minutes is all about: 1) We have finally arrived at some of my favorite Nehemaih portions. The scroll was brought before the assembly. Some churches demand that everyone be at the main gathering. Some churches require that only adults be at the central meeting. Some churches, like these two mentioned, should be more like Jesus. Kids are great, especially if they understand what’s being taught. But for churches to use Nehemiah as their service structure means: No roof for anybody. Please child. 2) Oh yes, here’s the other thing. How about some biblical proof that we live in a microwave church society? In any church larger enough, we have multiple services. In goes the herd, out goes the herd, and in comes the next herd. That’s not as bad as I am making it, but in Nehemiah, they say together from early morning until noon. At a minimum, that’s four hours of listening to the reading of the Law. Can you say, “what’s for lunch?” because I know I can. And I have. 3) And here is the challenge for the twenty-first-century church: paying attention. You have likely heard of the expression, “I’m so broke, I can’t pay attention.” Nowhere is that more true than in the modern church. We are so spiritually broke that if the pastor isn’t fascinating, we start checking stuff out on our phones. Yeah. That’s not too impressive.
