Greetings,
Preaching was never meant to be entertaining. The nation of Israel was carried away into captivity for thinking the Word of God was amusing, rather than receiving and allowing it to change their lives.
Ezekiel 33:32 (NKJV) – “Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.”
We should value the teaching of God’s Word so much more than a favorite movie or the daily news. After all, the purpose of scripture is to feed our inner man.
If we could see the human spirit as our Heavenly Father does, I wonder what we would see. Would our souls be shriveled and malnourished, while our outward appearance is healthy and strong?
Thank You, Lord, for allowing us to listen to the preaching of God’s Living Word, week after week. So many people in our world do not even have that privilege.
Today, I’m worshiping with Valley Creek Worship and “There Is Always More.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
