A most interesting compliment

On Sunday evening I preached on the theme, "How to emigrate to the real South-Africa". The word, emigrate, was deliberately chosen. With our country's fledgling democracy a lot of people haven't left the old South-Africa and therefore we have to emigrate to the new South-Africa.

After the sermon a huge Afrikaner man approached me, and I must confess that I was a little scared. He said to me, "your sermon made me feel like a 'poephol' - Afrikaans for asshole." He then said that he is a huge racist and that he felt God tugging at his heart. I could only respond that God loves poephol's, like me and him!

Your theme for the sermon is awesome this cumming Sunday i'm preaching on almost the same theme. I(we) gonne talk about hope and our lovely country and i spoke in Oudtshoorn about the same thing a few weeks ago and almost the same happened to me! God do love "poepolle" and South Africa is in His Hands and so are all the "poepolle" too.
