If you preach, how do you know what to preach? I know that we are just a mouthpiece for the LORD, and we preach what He wants us to preach. But that does not answer the question. How do you know what to preach?
1) what you know; 2) in a way that asks rather than answers question; 3) to make people think; 4) to engage people's hearts; 5) simply.. less usually is more.
Preaching is just one way to pastor people.. always good to remember.
this is a rather difficult question.cuz u know,i do share the good news sometimes but my lack of total understanding of the Bible may lead me to give the false stories.but i tried my best sometimes,that's all I could hope for.
Thanks KB :) I agree with it all ... though it is still hard to choose what to preach. But I suppose that we'd have to leave it to God to lead and he does indeed. And I like your comment about preaching being a way to pastor people, I've look at it more at teaching but yes, we must not forget that it serves to pastor them as well.
I think that it is always a good idea to preach:

Hi Mr Clive,
ReplyDeleteInteresting :) What made you conclude that your stories may be false? What are the stories like?
