This text is not easy.
As a for...Nice sermon. This text is not easy. <br /><br />As a former insurance claims adjuster I like to relate to Good Samaritans along the highways. Sometimes the Good Samaritans get in the way and put themselves and others in jeopardy. The Minnesota Highway Dept., I believe, discourages Good Samaritanism beyond a 911 call. Good advice.<br /><br />Last week a Good Samaritan in St. Paul was shot to death for trying to intervene in a car wash bay altercation. Imagine that. A car wash shooting coming out of an honest attempt to be a nice guy<br /><br />I dealt with a lot of lawyers in my claims adjusting career, and I regard the man in the story as a theologian and not a civil attorney. I don't what the civil law might have been at the time of Christ, but there were plenty of theologians around who wanted to impress on everyone their knowledge of the ways of God.<br /><br />So, I hope that these random thoughts do not undermine my appreciation for your sermon.Norman Teigenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704523935095549165noreply@blogger.com
