Most of the sermons I&#8217;ve watched online have been pretty unsatisfactory because they show the preacher talking to a big crowd &#8212; not to me personally &#8212; and because they&#8217;re too long. This video is my attempt at presenting this Sunday&#8217;s sermon in a shorter and more personal form. However, I admit that it&#8217;s an experiment I won&#8217;t repeat very often, because it took three hours to rewrite the sermon and to shoot and edit this ten-minute video.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: video host blip.tv is defunct, so this video no longer exists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that a recent poll shows 69% of United States residents believe in hell?
