Measuring Worth

Matt 10:24-39

A “zoom” sermon preached to the people of Ginter Park Baptist Church, Richmond VA on June 21, 2020

The recording failed to catch the first minute or so of the sermon. It begins with an account of the complications that arose early in my academic career because there are two other Mark Biddle’s who were active professors at the time. We agreed to always use our middle initials in professional contexts. Subsequently, I have learned of another MB who is a preacher and yet another, a lawyer, who gained notoriety for a crime. I pointed out that my name is not my identity. The recording picks up when I shift back to the biblical text.
