Thank God you are NOT in this church and, (so far) you have not heard sermon like this:

During the sermon, Rainey read a passage from Obadiah and said, “The word used for ‘provision’ is the Greek ‘kupkos’, or ‘chabed’ in the Hebrew, meaning ‘oikenatilus’ or literally ‘havet am rabed alshallai.’ The original tells us, ‘Kepkus oikenate dunamis rikesa,’ a fascinating word construction, meaning not just once but continually, or, ‘Akinitus kre dormitaron,’ which corresponds to, ‘Shevet ahim gamyahad.’ If I may put it this way, ‘Gelli toheron basmat evit yarna, khom harde dir shalom ette ramen novar chemyon.’ Amen?”

Jim, I think this should be put under your “Ministerial Misconduct” category!
