Preach, Preach, Preach!

October 5, 2010 by Christina

The reason the church tries so many other things besides preaching Christ is because it suspects the kingdom can be established some other way. But there is no other way. People will not come into the kingdom because they like the minister, support the children’s program, or enjoy the music. They may come into a church that way, but not into the kingdom. The only way people ever come into God’s kingdom is by hearing His heralds proclaim a crucified King.

      Yes. That is the heart cry of so many in this generation — to raise up a people who are more interested in proclaiming Christ and him crucified than they are to please man.
