Sermon – Extremists in Love – January 15 – Rev. J.McDougle

1Sam 3:1-10; Ps 139:1-5, 12-17; 1Cor 6:12-20; John 1:43-51

There is a bumper sticker that I’m particularly fond of.  I’m sure you’ve seen it. It reads: Well-behaved women rarely make history.   And it’s so true: although the concept can be expanded to include children, men, dogs and horses.  The bottom line is that while good behavior allows at least some people to get on comfortably with their lives without interruption; good behavior demands we live our lives by other people’s rules even though they may not be the wisest, or in the best interests of the planet.
