The Priority of Preaching

November 13, 2021

Today, power point presentations and friendly talks have replaced the powerful preaching of the Word of God in many evangelical churches. The great pulpits of the past have been set aside to make room for the worship team. Yet, have we not lost something vital in doing that? We need to return to the primacy of the word of God being proclaimed from our pulpits with power and great conviction.

The Holy Spirit opens hearts to receive the gospel. When the Holy Spirit comes in power, people start believing the gospel. Conversions take place in large numbers and Christians are renewed in their faith. This is what we need today.

Today, we need a great Spiritual Revival to cover the land. We need a return of the powerful preaching of the Word of God. Nice lectures and power point presentations are not enough. We need great preaching to return to our pulpits. God used the powerful preaching of men like George Whitefield and Asahel Nettleton in times past to bring His message to America. May He raise up men of our day who will preach the Word of God with power and boldness and much conviction.

Paul commended the Thessalonian Christians and thanked God for them continually for their good works produced by faith, their labor in the gospel prompted by love, and their endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. They were enduring in hope. This is what we must do today as God's people. We must endure in hope. We must believe that there is hope for the future not only for ourselves as individual Christians but hope for the church and through its influence hope for the nation as a whole.

Present judgements are a warning of a Judgement yet to come. A Judgement Day is coming when we will all have to stand before the Judgement Seat of God. How many will be able to stand in the presence of a Holy God? What preparations are we making now for that Great Judgement Day? Let us be warned by present day calamities to get ready for the future Judgement Day.

The church belongs to Christ. This church is "in the Lord Jesus Christ." It is grounded in Him. It is His Church.

The church is God's church. If the church is God's church, He will carry out His purpose through it. He will not allow it to go down in defeat in this age. God has a plan for the Church and He will carry it through. We must believe that.

Some think our work is almost done and soon we will be taken away to be with the Lord. Yet, this seems premature to believe. Our mission is to bring salvation to the ends of the earth. There seems that there is much work yet to be done when only a small percentage of great nations like India and China know Christ. Other nations have even smaller percentages of Christians. Also, there are great nations that once acknowledged Christ that have turned away from Him as a people. They need to be recovered for the gospel. There is so much work yet to be done that we must press forward and not give up.

The Old Testament Zion continues in the New Testament Zion. The Old Testament Zion is reborn in the New Testament Zion. The Messiah has come and He has set up His Church and He reigns spiritually over her. The Old Testament prophets looked ahead and saw the New Testament Zion, the renewed and fulfillment of the Old Testament Zion. They prophesied of glorious days ahead for the church. We are not going down in defeat but the church is yet to see her glory in this age.

We have become a nation that is fallen from righteousness. Our forefathers established a nation in righteousness. They acknowledged God and sought Him. We are turning from all of that. We are going our own way. That way will lead to destruction if we do not turn back.

Our forefathers had a definite vision for the nation. Today, we have lost that vision. We have turned away from the hearts of our fathers and sought out another way. Our hearts are far from God as a people and we need to repent.
