Woo hoo! After being out of commission for several months, the CrossWay Church Sermon Podcast is now back in action. I’m trying to catch up on uploading the backlog. Unfortunately some recordings didn’t turn out. But at least now we can start getting the weekly messages back online.
However, this did present me with a difficult challenge. A couple weeks ago I preached a message called “Born Again.” After preaching my heart out for half an hour, I got to the very end of the sermon and committed one of the worst verbal faux pas of my preaching career. So I was faced with the question: Do I leave it in there for the sake of keeping it real, or edit it out? I decided to leave it in there for two reasons. First of all, it would have been tricky to edit it out without there being an obvious gap in the message (I know–I tried). Second, there is something to be said for the integrity of keeping a message intact, embarrassing blunders and all. Otherwise it’s kind of like a photograph in a magazine that has been tampered with in PhotoShop. Anyway, just a warning for any downloaders of that sermon!
