Though we live in a reading age and in a reading community, yet the preaching of the gospel is the form in which human agency has been and still is most efficaciously employed for the spiritual improvement of men. --Daniel Webster
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Programs, programs, get your programs right here! That’s what it seems like in today’s churches. But what did the early church center the ministry around? It wasn’t programs, popular plays, or even pretty buildings; it was the preaching of God’s Word. We see preaching in the book of Acts time and time again; Acts 8:4, 8:12, 10:36, 11:20, and many more. It’s what Peter did and what God used to save more than 3,000 in Acts 2. And it’s what He will use today if we are going to see revival!
How do you feel about preaching? In order to have revival in your heart, your home, in your church there must be the preaching of God’s Word. Don’t forsake what God loves and is pleased with!
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.—1 Corinthians 1:21
