Inside Today’s Experiences

March 29, 2009 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Ugghhhh…I was sick to my stomach today which didn’t make the Experience much fun.
  • Didn’t help this morning to walk through the parking lot and have to step over literally thousands of worms…the smell didn’t help my stomach feel any better.
  • Lots of small technical mistakes behind the scenes that drive me crazy.
  • All that to say that my head just wasn’t in it today…
  • …amazingly God even uses crappy messages like I gave today to reach people.
  • 3 more people became followers of Christ!
  • And I had quite a few people stop me to share how encouraged they are that they can overcome their temptations.
  • I also had a few people ask me why all the text questions aren’t getting answered…or even put on the screens for that matter.
  • 2 things…#1 we are doing a series on marriage, relationships, dating and sex right after Easter so I told the team to not ask those types of questions.  We’ll take 4 weeks on just those alone starting April 19th.
  • The second reason is they only put up questions that they feel I’ll be able to answer on the fly and within only 5 minutes.
  • Speaking of questions, the two live questions today were, “Is it wrong to ask for a sign when I need to make a decision” and at 10:45, “Why pray if God already knows what is going to happen in the future”?
  • Both answers can be heard at the end of the podcast of the temptation message.
  • Again being sick I didn’t feel I gave my best on these so sorry if you really wanted to know.
  • Next week we’ll have an abbreviated message followed by multiple text questions so bring your phone and get your questions in!
  • Aaron, Adam and I had a great time making the “Easy Button” video.  You can watch it here.
  • Ok I’m about done…need a nap…see you next week.
