"The Limbaugh Brothers Saved My Soul"

       Folks....you can Google the title to this post....."The Limbaugh Brothers Saved My Soul"....if you are interested in seeing how far evangelicalism and the gospel can become two different things if one is not careful. This was a call to Rush's show from yesterday.....Friday, March 22. I was listening at the time. It was bittersweet....for this young lady's experience is not dissimilar to my own back in about 1974 when I first opened the New Testament.....and tasted that the Lord is good....but it took me another eight years or so......after putting that New Testament down.....that I finally understood what the Gospel of Jesus Christ was about.
       If you carefully read through this transcript a few times.....you might see that there are some glaring problems here.... and yet hope....from both the perspective of the young lady....and from that of Rush Limbaugh. I'll leave this post up for a while and then transfer it to one of my DISPATCHES posts.....which are short news items that I every once in a while gather up in a single post.
       I've never read any of David Limbaugh's books although I'm sure that they are fine efforts....but the transcript to this call to Rush yesterday might be a good topic for a weekly Bible study or prayer meeting or even conversations when Christians meet in their homes for fellowship....to explore what is good here and what might be problematic.....and how one has to be convicted of something.....in order to realize why one is in need of a Savior....and that as wonderful as those first few moments can be when seeing Jesus in Scripture....that that is only where the real battle may begin.
