That man should not be behind a pulpit. If he had slipped once I could understand that, but to keep on saying it shows me that he is not paying attention to his words. He is careless in his words and his theology. His misuse of James 1:14 is shocking at best. I would advise the folks in his church to either find a new pastor or a new church.
WOW! I am really surprised that you don't hear a few chuckles or coughs from the audience. Apparently they were just as asleep as the speaker when this sermon was given!
While I agree that the gentleman (and his hearers) could certainly benefit from sharpened thinking and homiletical tools, this post and thread doesn't feel very Christian to me; it's humor at his expense. What the brother needs is not ridicule but kind and redemptive correction from those assuming the posture of the learned.
By the way, this is my first time posting but I do enjoy reading your blog Ben.
Try a youtube search for Kerney Thomas and you will find some real doozies.

Sounds like he just got a little mixed up.
