Subject: IM PREACHING ON SUNDAY.................. |
Bible Note: Hank I heard one similar, a man was testifying detailing everything he had done before he was saved and what has taken place since his salvation. When he finished a listener mentioned that his testimony was an advertisement for sin. The man giving the testimony testified that he had money, women, fast cars, had been around the world and met fascinating people before he was saved however what he shared about his life after he got saved made it sound like his life got so boring that attending church, visiting the sick in hospitals and prisons was excitement to him. His testimony was all works on his part he never mentioned the work that God had done in his life. He was transformed from a man of no hope, no joy, walking in fear and desperation. To man that had a reason to live, a purpose in his life, new hope, new joy and he how lived without fear and desperation. When people testify they usually want to talk about their works before and after salvation. What they need to be talking about is the what God had done to His glory and honor. EdB |
