Quite interesting concept. I believe different people may say to a pastor that the verse in the sermon touched them that day, and in unconnected scenarios. One may be touched by the Spirit in thoughts on a particular verb and another on a certain noun. But there is something called parabolic constancy that we should all be concerned with. I heard a preacher once who thought he was teaching on the parable where a man found a great treasure in a field and he gave everything to be able to go and buy the field. This pastor was telling us that he himself did the same and had also bought the field. That is when I knew I was listening to a false teacher. This was many years ago so please forgive my foggy recollection but following the parable is Jesus' explanation as to its meaning. The field, is said to be the world. Taking the law of constancy into consideration, everytime the field is spoken of, it will refer to the world. Does this sound right? |

Sonofmom I quite agree! I onced preached a message on a subject I felt was unrelated to salvation. After the service a man came to me and told me I preached at him that day and that he was so convicted that he had given his heart to the Lord. This man faithfully followed Christ from that day forward and everyone saw the change in him. In fact the change was so dynamic his wife gave her heart to Lord a few weeks later as did the rest of his family. I have gone back over the tapes of that service and for the life of me I find nothing that should have brought the man under conviction as he claimed it did. All I can say is praise God! God's word is alive both spoken and in scripture and it will not return void. However God gave no such promise to man's words. |
