"When Preaching Matters Most"

Preaching matters most when the sheep are hungry for a word from the Lord. The sheep are not ours but the Lord's. So, since we preachers have the divine mandate to share a word from the Lord, then it is imperative that we men and women of God undertake the task with a sense of urgency. We are living in some very uncertain times in the world today and God's church has to return to the Word of God and allow the power of His Word, not our words about His word, to radiate to all that will hear and accept his will for their lives.God is always active. He has sent his word to perform its task and it will not return to him void. It's God's Word that will transform our lives. Therefore, we preachers must "labor" in the Word and pray for divine direction from the Lord about his word for his sheep.Preaching matters most when it matters to the preacher first and foremost!"

Passionate about Preaching"

"One of the greatest contentions today, is a need for the preacher to have some passion about their preaching lifestyle. The world is in need of preachers who seriously take the responsibility to heart. God needs men and women and women and men, who hearts are on "fire" about getting the Gospel message to everyone they can. Reaching the lost calls for today's preacher to be strategic about the precision of their preaching and the targeted audience they are trying to approach. The week should be planned to get God's attention about what the people are in need of and then diligence should be given to that task with all the energy that can be mustered up to meet that need. Preaching is serious passion!"
