PREACHING:
PREACH THE WORD; DIALOGUE

Frankly, I am too busy serving Jesus to spend my time and energy engaging in contemporary dialogue.

I think I know what “contemporary dialogue” means. It means that all of those intellectual preachers are busy reading the news magazines so they will be able to comment on the world situation from their pulpits on Sunday mornings. But that is not what God called me to do. He called me to preach the glories of Christ. He commissioned me to tell my people there is a kingdom of God and a throne in the heavens. And that we have One of our own representing us there.

That is what the early church was excited about. And I think our Lord may have reason to ask why we are no longer very excited about it.
