Things to Say if the City of Houston Asks for Your Sermon Notes

I’m sure many of you have heard that the City of Houston has demanded that several leading pastors turn over to authorities any sermons dealing with homosexuality and gender. See news reports here and here.

I’ll be visiting Houston Baptist University in January, so I thought I better have some things to say in case I’m asked to hand over my sermon notes when I visit. Here is my top five:

5. They are on-line at SermonCentral.com where I get all my sermons.

4. Sermon notes! What are they? I preach extemporaneously as led by the Spirit!!

3. Like most Texan pastors, I wrote them on a Chik-Fil-A napkin which I threw in the trash after the service.

2. I emailed them to the IRS but apparently they lost my email. Go figure!

1. Persians, come and get them.
