 Preachers and ministers of the gospel, when you present the word to God's people, remember this. It's not your job to impress. It's your job to impart. You're not called to entertain. You're called to edify. Well, it's good to share stories and communicate with passion. We have to remember that people don't grow spiritually from hearing our opinions. They grow spiritually from hearing the truth of God's word. So let the Scripture speak for itself. When you try to be too clever or force meaning upon the Scripture, that's when we run into trouble and controversy and cause confusion. Truth over Trends.
