I listened to this sermon today on my way home. I have been critisised for saying less than this man does. I take courage from what God spoke to me through this man.
But I want to add something to what the learned gentleman had to say. And may all pastors preachers and teachers in this forum take note. At one point Mr Ravenhill states that most people come to church to hear "about" God and not "from" God.
Well, I am going to add to what he says for I find myself partly to agree and partly to disagree. I am fed up to the back teeth with going to the "Sunday Show" that we call church. I want to worship God in song and spirit and truth on Sunday. I don't want to be entertained. If I need entertainment I will watch my 3 year old daughter for half an our.
You preacher, what message has God given you to give to me? Are you going to preach a sermon or are you going to tell me what God wants me to hear?
Listen to the prayer of Alan Redpath: "Speak Lord, for Thy servant heareth. Speak some word, Lord, some message just between Thee and Me. For thy glory alone dear Lord and for Thy sake and in Thy name, Amen.
Be on notice preachers and teachers. There are some of us out here listening and watching and waiting. How long will you make us wait?
