"Why we Preach?"....
"When asked this powerful pertinent question, it propels the mind to contemplate the irresistable urge to preach. Dr. William Myers in his book, "The Irresistable Urge to Preach", used the call stories od great preachers to convey or to give an explaination as to why we feel as though that if we don't preach that we have done heaven an unjust jesture to sharing the good news. What is majestic, is that for the last 24 years, I have has this burning to preach. To preach for GOD is the highest goal in life, but I often struggle with trying to live up to the message I preach. The late William A. Jones in his book, talks about "treasure in trash" as it rleates to the great good treasure of the gospel having to be graffled through human trash, with all of it's complexities. Yet GOD choose to use such vessels of dishonor to honor him with their feeble efforts to proclaim his Kingdom on earth. What a lofty privilege to be accounted by God and then approved my his local body, to be chosen to share on his behalf. GOD is just good!"
