Bible Note: Dear Justme, When I was young and immature, my heart was dull and ears tickled (2 Tim 4:3) that I did not like the way (HOW) most preachers preached. God is so gracious to regenerate my heart that now (as I grew up) I concern on WHAT is preached (but not to find fault). I agree with you completely that preaching is a weighty task (2 Tim 4:2, 2 Tim 2:15). The preparation and process consume you. The labouring is hard for a lay-person to understand. I always tell my youth group and my fellows at adult cell group to pray for preachers and pastors (James 3:1). However, there were times I grinded my teeth when I heard a Christmas message telling the congregant to see Nick as their role model in time of troubles and affliction; the MEANING of Jesus' ressurection is to demonstrate God has the power to raise the dead on the Ressurection Day service; refute the feasibility of "speaking the truth in love" (Eph 4:15) due to cultural difference.
