The Truth About We Don 't Speak It

Response: “Alan Potter (2014) wrote that John MacArthur warned us that if we lose the biblical foundation while preaching this will lead to the decline of preaching which will contribute to the weakness and worldliness of the church, so for a church to be spiritual healthy, preaching should return to its proper biblical foundation (https://www.linkedin.com). Paul told Timothy that by preaching the Scripture, man and women could be wise for salvation (2 Tim. 3:15 NKJV). They learn the way of salvation through the Bible which the Holy Spirit taught the preacher to use, they should not use their own words dictated by man’s wisdom (1 Corinth. 2: 13

The calling of a pastor for the Lord is a very high calling as well as position. God has granted the ability of the pastor to lead sheep and teach truth to people. A pastor also has certain convictions that he or she must live up to. These certain convictions keep him or her accountable to God, upholding the stature of being light and salt of this world. Through the content of this paper, every conviction a pastor must have will be discussed, why these convictions are important, and who compromised their convictions.

29-30- “That 's what happens when we meet Jesus and are amazed by him: we go to tell others, including those who have turned against us.” This is how the gospel is spread, through people willingly and joyfully telling others

I think Church’s have major responsibilities to communicate the gospel message. We need to remember that it was God’s kindness that saved us. Church’s shouldn’t focus too much

Learning about prophets, accentuates the importance of teaching context and culture. Observing context and culture demonstrates why people did and said what they did. Whenever we preach the Gospel, it is important that we accurately teach God’s Word; otherwise the congregants will be misled and

This article raises awareness of the historic value of open-air preaching, being seen as radical, in no way limits it to being a method utilized by such as Jesus Christ, Paul the Apostle, and in modern times Rev. Billy Graham. It is a great article for those that aspire to enter the ministry at the grassroots level and beyond.

Prophetic preaching on ethical issues builds a foundation for Christian involvement in community moral issues. A minister may be hesitant to address moral issues in sermons because of their variety and complexity. The potential negative reaction of the congregation is another obstacle.

I could have wished that the reputations of many brave men were not to be imperiled in the mouth of a single individual, to stand or fall according as he spoke well or ill. For it is hard to speak properly upon a subject where it is even difficult to convince your hearers that you are speaking the truth. (Thuc.2.35)

During this video series, I have been able to better interpret the meaning behind the Gospels and understand better the early practices of Christianity. My faith is strengthened when I acquire scholarly information about Christianity; it is defiantly a positive impact. From another perspective, if someone had a strong opinion or prior knowledge about something to find out it was incorrect, that may be challenging at first for that person to accept the correct

Who do you serve as you examine the roads you travel? Did you choose the road full of loneliness, shame and babble? Lean of God, trust and don't just take the Word from us, but go to the source. Eat, be merry and rejoice, that you experience God's Grace and Love with your own work, faith, and choice. Be careful how you serve, by accidentally stepping on some nerves, while you try and help with love each day. Always review and examine your approach, you are not always right with your boast. Learn from your mistakes, they are all over the place. Stop acting like God, or you'll become a fraud, pretending to serve, yet lost in your deception. Be

When we think of evangelism, we tend to have a few big names, like Billy Graham, D L Moody, George Whitefield, and John Sung. Our mindset immediately goes to “They are powerful Christians used by God, but I am just a common believer”. Later we will arrive at a conclusion: I can never be good at evangelism. Gradually, we lost the courage to even trying evangelism.

Among the challenge of understanding the people that you are ministering to or with is the challenge of being able to maintain high standards of moral behavior in a challenging environment (Martin.n.d). There is also the challenge of ever changing volunteers and the lack of volunteers (Martin.,n.d). As a Christian leader, we tend to believe that there will always be an abundance of volunteers to serve God but that is not always the case as I have witnessed personally.

You’re there to deliver a message. Preaching and teaching does not mean everything in your ministry. But preaching and teaching starts all the fires in your ministry.

It is this testimony of faith in Christ that helps break down the barrier that stands in between the believer and unbeliever so often. As we have heard in our lectures, the way Jesus did evangelism was modeled in the way he lived. Jesus was intentional about his witness as should be the believer. He looked for opportunities to show his love. The believer needs to adapt this into their daily life in order to help clear up the wrong perspectives of the gospel. My emerging biblical theology of evangelism is being enhanced in seeing different and more exciting ways to share the gospel. In order to change the view of many concerning the gospel we must let people see that they do not need to “wash their hands after shaking the hand of a religious person.” The believer does not need to become like the unbeliever but does not need to be seen as a pious, egotistical,

We can do this by first sharing the Gospel and then slowly introduce more Biblical theology and greater truths all while identifying what areas need the most work for a particular people. In that process we must avoid any compromise that would make things “easier” while sacrificing the purity or wholeness of the Gospel. We can do this by being grounded in Scripture any never leaving that solid rock of safety. We must not be afraid of facing issues that are threatening the Gospel and destroying our flocks. We must not fear learning to grow within our own culture and be aware of all of our own faults and sinful nature.
