I found this sto\u00adry from one of the news arti\u00adcles about the move of God at Asbury encour\u00adag\u00ading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIt all start\u00aded on Wednes\u00adday, Feb\u00adru\u00adary 8, when Zach Meerkreebs, a vol\u00adun\u00adteer soc\u00adcer coach who had addressed the stu\u00addent body only twice before, gave an impro\u00advised ser\u00admon about love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSome of you guys have expe\u00adri\u00adenced rad\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly poor love,\u201d Meerkreebs, a tat\u00adtooed 32-year-old with a pen\u00adchant for kom\u00adbucha, told <\/a>the crowd. \u201cSome of you guys have expe\u00adri\u00adenced that love in the church. Maybe it\u2019s not vio\u00adlent, maybe it\u2019s not molesta\u00adtion, it\u2019s not tak\u00aden advan\u00adtage of\u2014but it feels like some\u00adone has pulled a fast one on you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he uttered the invi\u00adta\u00adtion that ignit\u00aded a move\u00adment: \u201cIf you need to hear the voice of God\u2014the Father in Heav\u00aden who will nev\u00ader love you that way, that is per\u00adfect in love, gen\u00adtle and kind\u2014you come up here and expe\u00adri\u00adence his love. Don\u2019t waste this oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a final, kind of corny throw\u00adaway line, he said: \u201cI pray that this sits on you guys like an itchy sweater, and you got\u00adta itch, you got\u00adta take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meerkreebs told me he was cer\u00adtain that he had \u201ctotal\u00adly whiffed\u201d the ser\u00admon, and imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly got off stage and texted his wife, \u201cLat\u00adest stinker. I\u2019ll be home soon.\u201d<\/p>\nWhy Stu\u00addents in Ken\u00adtucky Have Been Pray\u00ading for 250 Hours<\/a> (The Free Press)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know whether his preach\u00ading was actu\u00adal\u00adly bad that day or not \u2014 I haven\u2019t seen the video. But I know he thought it went bad\u00adly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here\u2019s the encour\u00adag\u00ading thing for preach\u00aders: the move of God is not con\u00adtin\u00adgent on our rhetor\u00adi\u00adcal skills. Do your best to bless God\u2019s peo\u00adple, but don\u2019t despair if you \u201ctotal\u00adly whiff\u201d and lay your \u201clat\u00adest stinker.\u201d An amaz\u00ading out\u00adpour\u00ading might fol\u00adlow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why? Because grace is as fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal a prin\u00adci\u00adple as you can find in Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty. It is well-known that God offers for\u00adgive\u00adness to sin\u00adners, free\u00addom for cap\u00adtives, and joy in place of mourn\u00ading. More\u00adover, His pow\u00ader is made per\u00adfect in our weak\u00adness! Why should we be sur\u00adprised when God pours out His Spir\u00adit gen\u00ader\u00adous\u00adly in response to mediocre preach\u00ading?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
