An induction

I am going to an induction tomorrow. I expect it to be ok, but I am hoping that this new minister will be more than they bargained for. I think that the church today has become a shadow of what it should be. They only preach on the more positive parts of scripture and skip over the bits that present difficulty. If there is one thing that I will say for sysematic preaching it is that the preacher is forced to preach on the more difficult, or even downright depresssing parts of scripture. it is all revealed by God and we need to get to grips with all of it, including things like Lamentation, or Job, neither of which makes for very cheerfull reading.
