Corpses and the Corpus

A few weeks ago our church in Romania had a guest speaker come in. It was a real treat because the visiting pastor was Romanian. This particular week our congregation got a taste of what it's like to have a native Romanian preach the gospel to them, and it seemed to be refreshing for them. It was also a treat for me because I got a glimpse inside how a Romanian pastor views the religious state of his own country. 

The pastor preached from 2 Timothy 3 and emphasized where the passage talks about those who "have a form of godliness, but they deny its power." He said that this perfectly describes the Romanian people. He gave an analogy of a bunch of corpses propped up beside a large campfire. If you went around and touched the corpses, they would feel warm to the touch.
