Subject: A Sermon which Leads to Christ |
Bible Note: This is the chicken and egg, which came first. Was it the church that demanded the preacher be entertaining and make the church grow or was it the preacher that failed to teach the church that worship is not for their entertainment but to glorify God and to equip them to go into the world as disciple makers? The problem becomes even more complex when you realize how many are in pulpit today not because of a calling but because it seemed like a good career. Our Bible colleges and seminaries are turning out young men and women who are looking for same thing graduates of secular colleges are. Position, prestige, wealth, fame, fortune. Many see ministry as entrepreneurial an opportunity to have a career that gives them freedom to "enjoy" their lifestyle and not be tied down to rigid work schedules. So while Spurgeon is absolutely correct where did it all get off track? Scripture predicted such a time as this. |
