Pastor Bridgette

 

gave a sermon on Christ announcing who he was in his hometown. 

Luke 4:14-20.

Called it "Man on a mission" I think it was :-).

Her sermon resonated, strongly, BTW.

Brother Joe said if you're not thinking about anything and then all the sudden something comes upon you? It's the Holy Spirit telling you something. 

So it was like three or four days later and I'm just resting and I hadn't thought of this song or this group in ages...and then all the sudden:

"Missionary man"

Well I was born an original sinner.

I was borne from original sin.

And if I had a dollar bill

For all the things I've done

There'd be a mountain of money

Piled up to my chin

My mother told me good

My mother told me strong.

She said "Be true to yourself

And you can't go wrong."

"But there's just one thing

That you must understand."

"You can fool with your brother

But don't mess with a missionary man."

Don't mess with a missionary man.

Don't mess with a missionary man.

Well the missionary man

He's got god on his side.

He's got the saints and apostles

Backin' up from behind.

Black eyed looks from those bible books.

He's a man with a mission

Got a serious mind.

There was a woman in the jungle

And a monkey on a tree.

The missionary man he was followin' me.

He said "Stop what you're doing."

"Get down upon your knees."

"I've a message for you that you better believe."

Yup...

I just laughed...I'm like your so great...he says I know :-). Thought you might appreciate.

Thing is?

I don't really like the song or the group that much, a few songs here and there.

The lyrics though :-).

Definitely resonating like a tuning fork these days.

Christ announcing who he was in his hometown and the Eurythmics :-).

Who or where else :-)?
