One of the things I enjoy about preaching is the conversation that goes on after Sunday morning. Many of you contact Craig or me with questions, comments,objections,insights, even corrections.  And its all welcome. God uses Bible-based dialogue to strengthen and sharpen believers. 

    Here is a recent gem from one of you, a brother who was reading a book that touched on Genesis. In that book, the author pointed out that one aspect of the Fall was self-consciousness on the part of Adam and Eve. In other words, our ancient parents became keenly aware of "me". My brother made the following observation -

          "It was interesting to me ... sin tends to make us more 'self-aware' and less 'God-aware' ."

    Another way of saying that, perhaps, is that the first thing after the first sin is a couple who are concerned about how they look.  The fashion industry is born.

    Keep the conversation going. It adds more joy to preaching.
