Some estimates indicate that about two billion people worldwide watched Prince William and Kate Middleton marry Friday morning in London. I wish them a long and happy married life together, but that is not what excites me. During the ceremony, most or all of the 12th chapter of Romans was read aloud. It is rare to hear any portion of Scripture read on secular television, but about 30% of the world's population heard Romans 12 yesterday. (There might be a good sermon idea there -- What the World Heard at the Royal Wedding -- many much-needed messages can be taught from the text of Romans 12). Let's pray that indeed the Lord will bless the reading of his word. [Isaiah 55:11].
