Joel starts off with a bit of info covered in the Early Show interview. But then goes on to tease his critics in the blogosphere. Someone might wanna tell Joel that not every blogger is critical of him, though ;-) ... I can think of at least one other blog written by a Lakewood member.

Still, a great sermon and a great display of how Joel takes something he's confronted with and makes it a teaching lesson for us all. If life were completely fair, I'd take all sorts of time to blog about how much I loved this sermon and enumerate every single way in which I do. But since work is kicking me right now, I'm probably going to have to suggest that you just pick up the CD or tape ... or wait a few weeks for the message to be on TV.
