Rice Sat, 04 Jul 2009 03:54:39 +0000 http://www.feedingonchrist.com/2009/07/02/watch-your-words/#comment-2100 Many times critical words soon turn to or can be interpreted as discord. If we believe our pastors and preachers are called of God to preach, and our discernment through the Holy Spirit tells us the words and thoughts are Biblical, we should be as careful as David was of ridiculing King Saul...he refrained because Saul was the anointed king. We should hold our tongues and think of those messages we find fault in to test if the message wounded some sensitivity based on a sin in our lives or if we disagreed with some point because of a truth that was not presented. We're to Beriens but be sure our fur is not ruffled because we are really feeling guilty about something. Many times critical words soon turn to or can be interpreted as discord.

We've got to avoid being hyper-critical. Discernment is one thing. Arrogance is another. Yes.

It should also give us who struggle to be better preachers the confidence that God is at work when His word is preached. Despite our giftedness or lack thereof. Of course, this does not mean we should be content to be mediocre preachers! Amen!

If God is sovereign then surely He can use "a man of very ordinary talents and awkward manner" as the means to His saving work. It is not the might of the preacher, but the might of the One whom he speaks on behalf of! What a powerful quotation.
