Preach Preacha' (for real)

If I hear another church cliche' I'm going to backslide! Can I get some real preachers to go before the Lord and get a FRESH WORD?

Believe me, I understand that it's more than a notion to prepare a message every week in addition to teaching bible study and visiting the sick and making sure that the bills are paid...BUT, we must never get to the place where we take the Sunday worship experience lightly. Some people are literally trying to decide whether to live or die and a word from the Lord may be the only thing that will make them realize that there is something to live for.

Stop "preaching" the lyrics to your favorite songs. Stop "preaching" somebody elses message that you saw on YouTube or Streaming Faith. Stop "preaching" recycled messages that you just changed the title to. Stop "preaching" magazine articles and for God's sake, please stop "whooping" for 15 minutes when you can't come up with anything else to say. The people deserve more than that.

I pray for every apostle, pastor, prophet, evangelist and teacher who has been charged with the responsibility of pointing us to Christ. I pray that a new fire and new hunger for the voice of God overtakes you. We'll all be the better for it.

Peace and Power!
Pastor Will
