1 | IM PREACHING ON SUNDAY.................. | Bible general Archive 2 | EdB | 119228 | ||
SAZ As you give your testimony be aware of the number of times you say "I". Let your testimony glorify God not you. To many that give a testimony use I, I over and over. They detail their life of sin, it is almost as if they are bragging about how bad they were. As you think about what your going to say if there is more than one I, as in the sentence "I realized I needed Jesus", then ask yourself who is glorified here. EdB |

EdB: Good advice to SAZ and everyone else too. In his "Autobiography" Ben Franklin said, "I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, 'Without vanity I say...etc.' but that some vain thing immediately followed. Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they may have of it themselves." ..... And speaking of detailing their life of sin to the point it sounds almost as though they were bragging about it brings to mind a little story whose source escapes my recollection. It goes something like this. A young man gave his testimony and dwelled so heavily on his former life of sin, describing it in vivid detail, that it prompted someone in the audience to remark, "Boy, that sure was a good testimony about sin. I can't wait to get out of this church house and have some fun like he did." --Hank | ||||||
