A sermon that began with the admonition "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" turned into a discussion on the joys of sex. Yes, you read that correctly. The late Dr. Frank Pollard dedicated a whole sermon to the subject of sex, calling it God's gift to humanity. After all, sex occurred before, not after the fall of man. As beautiful as it can be, he preached, its misuse can hurt others, hurt ourselves, destroy love. The so-called sexual liberation, said he, often turns into slavery where one is governed by lusts and betrays those he loves. The news of the President's infidelity in 1998 drove Dr. Pollard to preach this message. See what else he had to say in the video posted below.
Scripture: John 8: 1-11
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
