Preaching

In preaching, the heart is poured out and every fiber of the being screams forth the holiness of God. Preaching, for the preacher, is worship.
Acceptable worship is impossible without preaching, for preaching is making known the Lord's name, and worship is praising the name made known.
People have the faulty idea that the PREACHER is an actor on stage and they are the critics, evaluating him. What they don’t know is that THEY are the actors on stage! The preacher is merely a prompter in the wings, reminding them of their lost lines, and GOD is the audience!
We cannot make much of ourselves and of God simultaneously. If people say "Amazing preaching!" we have failed. They must say "Awesome God!"
