I mentioned a few days ago that I will be guest preaching on Mother's Day at a local church. Over the last two days, I've started getting Google hits for "Mother's Day sermons."

C'mon, pastors, your people need to be fed. Don't scrounge a sermon off the internet just so you can have a "Mother's Day" message. If you don't have something jumping out of the Scriptures at you to say about Mother's Day, then don't do a Mother's Day message! It's a made-up, greeting card holiday anyway.

Give your people something from God's Word that has been feeding you lately, something you can be passionate about. Don't shoehorn yourself into a tight spot just because you think you've got to do a mom message.
