Worst Thing to Happen to a Preacher [Episode 1] (Leonard Ravenhill)

The worst thing that could ever happen to a preacher is he cares about the people's popularity poll rather than faithfulness to the Creator of the universe.

I met Ravenhill once, in his office. He was the same guy in person that he was in the pulpit - a single-minded man. We need men like this today. Lord, bring Revival and let it begin with me.

@77avt , allah is not God. two different entities. allah is an idol.

[chriswatkinsdotcom]

@frosbel actually, in arabic the word for God is allah. ask an arab Christian. allah is not a specific name for the muslim false god. make sense? its like when a mormon or a jehovah's witness says they pray to God......we use the same word "God" but of course they have the wrong belief about who God is.

Hey LanCh, Nice mormon advertisement making any money off it? I find that interesting you let that happen being a Christian.

Salt that Irritates - meaning to effect people, to be the fire that moves people. 

[Urfism]

@Ryno706 Why would you want to be the salt that irritates? We should be the salt that preserves the Word of God. Matthew 5:13.

This is Clarke's commentary on the verse.

"Ye are the salt of the earth - Our Lord shows here what the preachers of the Gospel, and what all who profess to follow him, should be; the salt of the earth, to preserve the world from putrefaction and destruction."

I'd say it is worse for anyone is to become a professional lier. To claim something without the slightest evidence is in the scientific sense a lie. You can believe what you want, but if you go out and tell kids they are inherently sinful you are damaging their lifes.

@OKandNOWwhat The typical Christian response. One dripping with outrageous-self aggrandizement, and pure ego. You think you have some ability to talk to God that I don't! Well. guess what, I can't talk to God and neither can you. I just happen to have my imagination under control. "One who says in his heart?" You gotta be kidding me. You are aware that the heart just pumps blood, right? So, that leaves the brain to do the saying, and my brain is saying you can't separate reality from fiction.

[chedillychedilly1]

@OKandNOWwhat HAHA!! Well how convenient. I'm sorry, but that is a load of rhetorical nonsense. I don't doubt "HE" speaks. I fully believe that you THINK you talk to God. I'm also quite certain that you DO NOT! What I said was not about Jesus, it was about your inability to use rationality. I never said that there is no God! What the hell are you talking about! We can have a rational discussion, or you can try to sweep your lack of thoughtfulness under the rug.

@chedillychedilly1

His sheep know His Voice. You doubt He speaks because you are not of His sheep. There are many things that Jesus has told me that were beyond my personal knowledge or the knowledge of a collective consciousness.

I cannot describe blue to a blind man. Nor shall I entertain the doubts of one who says in his heart there is no God.

[chedillychedilly1]

@OKandNOWwhat And how do you know you are not just talking to yourself? Ask Jesus (yourself) to tell you something you couldn't have known already, and I'm fairly confident you will see that you yourself don't hear "HIS" voice....just your own.
