  Mark Tabb spoke at Brandywine Community Church Today. I normally spend Sunday mornings at South Memorial Drive Church Of God In New Castle. Because of health and my inability to drive because of my sight I went with a friend to Brandywine. Jen worked today. I like to go to Mass at St Michaels at least once each week. I had heard about Mark.
Was Mark as exciting as Zig Ziglar? Well, no. This isn't to say he wasn't exciting. He didn't spend the first hour of his presentation warming up the audience either... I can say I felt The Spirit and had the discernment that I was hearing something I hadn't heard in awhile. Mark's words didn't need to make a change in me because I knew what he was preaching and find the message lacking today.
It places you out of your comfort zone. Meat. No potatoes, no garnish, no palate cleanser, just meat. This is like going to McDonalds, expecting a Big Mac, and getting a Choice cut from an expensive steakhouse. What I always tell people is what Mark preached this morning. Some Christians spend their lives after finding Him with a view of a pastel world with flowers and butterflies.
This is good for the first week guys but you need to move on. This isn't the world we live in. Mark got it, he got it. My belief that this is possibly the last day of my life is shared by Mark. He outlined the stuff that takes up our time while we should be doing God's work. He gave the group an outline of the things we waste time on.
Mark didn't environmentalise his message or water it down. He used scripture. He applied The Word to our world. I felt moved emotionally, and more importantly mentally. Let's see, what are the usual compalints about a service...Music's too loud, too contemporary. The things I enjoy in a service.
Mark Wright sang with his wife Kathy I hope. I only met a few people I knew but that is okay too. Brandywine has an 8:30am and 10:00am worship service. Babysitting, Children's Church. No offering ceremony. Just like the Chinese Buffet next door, you pay on the way out.
Saw this in the bulletin and finally mvoed after I sqw I was blocking the box. I have listened to his message twice on CD today. It will air next Sunday at 8:30am on WJCF 88.1 if you would like to hear it.
