Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. In too many cases, though, we have plenty of sound and fury, but we all know what that signifies. Adam,

Thanks for commenting. Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound. In too many cases, though, we have plenty of sound and fury, but we all know what that signifies.

The best "conference" I ever attended was a marriage seminar in a dusty old gymnasium, attended by a grand total of 10 people. Over the course of six hours our pastor showed us the Biblical model for marriage and I learned more there than I ever received at the more popular marriage seminars. I think Americans are, for some reason, of the opinion that popular "experts" have more to say about living the faith than your typical, everyday pastor. Perhaps in most churches this is true; a sad commentary on the state of our churches if that's the case. This is my first post, and I agree with much of what was written.
