I Get What I Preach For

Labels:
I saw this on a website that I was visiting for some church marketing information and it caught my fancy, so I modified it to a Baptist Pastor's Biblical viewpoint:

When I preach salvation, people get saved and want others to get saved.
When I preach about loving Jesus, people desire to demonstrate the love from Jesus.
When I preach about God's blessings, people look to be blessed and be a blessing.
When I preach about the second coming, people get ready and get excited.
When I preach about spiritual and physical healing, people anticipate being cured.
When I preach hope, people are more hopeful no matter what life brings.
When I preach about giving, people give more and more willingly give.

What you talk about is what people are going to respond to.
In other words, I get what I preach for.

This is not about manipulation through communication.
This is about transformation through communication.

So, friends, what are you preaching for? What are you communicating for?
2 Timothy 4:1-4
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
