That does not seem to be the only thing Jesus or Paul did. I know of many churches where the Word is faithfully preached and yet consumerism thrives. In some cases it is the faithful preaching of the Word the consumers crave.

A church with a Life Coach telling interesting stories/funny jokes trying hard keep to the consumer masses entertained and coming back will never impact the world for Christ. We would be better served if Pastors would just follow Paul’s charge to Timothy (2 Tim 4:2) and simply/constantly preach the Word which includes reading /explaining/applying. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s the Word of God that leads sinners to Christ and directs the life of the believer. (…and yes v.3 warns in advance that MANY will not endure sound teaching and will leave…but those who are saved/remain will be well fed.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
