Hard Preaching


Some have said we are not preaching hard enough on the issues that matter

O Lord, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill? He who walks with integrity... (Psalm 15:1-2) The biblical Hebrew word for "integrity" is tamim (תמים). It means "whole, sound, blameless, lacking nothing essential, consistent inside and out." It is the same word the Torah uses to describe a lamb suitable for a Passover sacrifice. "Your lamb shall be an unblemished (tamim, תמים) male a year old..." (Exodus 12:5). What does it mean to be unblemished? Removing the sin in our lives should be top priority. Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,........ Time is the biggest problem. We waste a lot of it doing things that are of no benefit to ourselves or others. The signs of the times are showing us that the end is near. Jesus is coming, look to the east!!!
