How many Billy Bobs do you know who can <em>say</em> words with as many syllables as "sovereignty" and "causation", let alone <em>understand</em> what they mean? Think about it. Maranatha!

Think about it.

Billy Bobs around shouting and spitting and making unqualified statements like Calvinists believe "total sovereignty equals total causation." Of course, don't take this sarcasm too seriously.

I would imagine that you listened to some workshop presentations that very carefully followed the notes, but there was not a single sermon preached as you've suggested. If you wanted to ask, why have workshops at a conference on preaching, then you would be asking a question that might warrant an answer. Instead, you've made a sarcastic comment, in the form of a question, that misrepresents the facts. Very bad form.

Why not just give us the manuscript and go home? I can't imagine the men I have in mind actually do this in classes that they teach, so why here? Anyway, I realize that extemporaneous isn't the only way to preach. I am mostly trying to be a smart aleck with this post. Not sure if I am succeeding on the first part of that combo...
