A preacher once decided to use me as a prop for his sermon. He preached out of verse 1 John 2:16 where it says “For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.” So he apparently prophesied (it was a pentecostal church) that I would have my eyes trained on the ass of a woman who was planted in front of me during worship. And of course, he made much of “the lust of the eyes” part of the verse. The good part is he wanted to catch all of this on video–of me looking at this woman’s ass in church while he rambles on about “the lust of the eyes”. I admit that would make for great TV. Well guess what? Although I have been known to look at a woman this way, on this particular Sunday at least, I wasn’t paying attention to any woman! I was worshipping! Can anyone say false prophet? By the way, that was a very uncool trick to try to pull on someone. Am I the only one who needs to deal with this s*** when they go to church? It’s never a good sign when you get caught lying-in-wait for someone to sin. I applaud the effort though.
