1 | Preach the Gospel not an agenda | Matt 10:16 | EdB | 243589 | ||
1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. Today many us wisdom of words instead of the truth of the Cross in sermons, preaching, teaching, and even in forums. Man is easily impressed but also easily intimidated by people that use wisdom of words. We are warned there are wolves around us that would suck the truth of scripture out of us. Often these wolves are have no intention of being wolves but have been deceived themselves by careful use of the wisdom of words of others. Often people with flowing terms about the greatness of a man, a teaching, of a philosophy but they completely ignore the initial cost of such fame, of the teaching, of the philosophy. That cost is simply dismissed as not their problem. Even though it violated the very things our savior prayed for. Wisdom of words should never be promoted preaching the Gospel the Cross of Jesus is what is important |

2 | Preach the Gospel not an agenda | Matt 10:16 | EdB | 243595 | ||
If we look at today’s England we see the truth of this passage. London had some of the greatest orators ever to stand in pulpit but their legacy is one where the church is in decline. One man in particular is often quoted from his famous sermons but he denied the power of the Holy Spirit and while he preached to thousands his words returned void if we look at the condition of the church in London today. When men deny God, try to place limits on God or dogmatically define God error abounds and as such their words return void. While many may cling to them as man often does with deception, the truth spoken not to amaze man but to equip man changes lives. Man must preach under the unction of the Holy Spirit and if they deny the power of the Holy Spirit they do not have such unction, not matter how eloquently they preach. Only crucified preaching can give life, crucified preaching can only come from a crucified man. When man enjoys the “pleasures†of this world he has not crucified his flesh and therefore can not preach a crucified message. |
