Amen to That Brother
I listened to a sermon where the preacher would make his point and then add, “Amen and amen…Can I hear an amen to that...That deserves two amen’s…” Most believers will occasionally say an amen to something they strongly agree with, but soliciting the amen throughout the message seems almost akin to clapping for yourself.

-----Part of human nature seeks validation. It is unfortunate when human nature stands at the pulpit. It is a place for godliness. “Can I hear an amen to that...” and especially, “That deserves two amens...” wreaks of human nature. But “amen and amen” has a more humble ring. I can imagine it proceeding from godliness at the pulpit when human nature has simply failed to lead a progression of concepts to a crescendo of words that themselves say, “Amen and amen.”
Love you all,
