A couple of points that Pastor Voigt made about the sermon on the mount are:

- As a born again believer, when was the last time you read through this greatest of sermons?

I've acuatlly been reading this myself lately as I'm preparing to blog though it. It's a masterful sermon. I think the most interesting part is the "You have heard it said....but now I say to you".
