WHO SPEAKS FOR GOD?
I Peter 4:11
"If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."
Chuck Colson wrote a book entitled, "Who Speaks For God?" The short answer is "the preacher." Ministers used to be held in high esteem and were honored by the parishioners and the community. Not so anymore. That position has been diminished, partly because many preachers have departed from speaking God's Word and instead have dabbled in politics, psychology, and personal opinions. My heart longs to hear Jesus proclaimed, God exalted, His Word expounded, and my spirit expecting to hear a word from God.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: The calling of the preacher is to speak for God and expound His Word.

Have a listening day. Love you.
P.S.: Thanks to all of you who sent me birthday greetings. I had a wonderful birthday.
