The Law and the Falsely Terrified Conscience

And so, when you preach the Law, you are also instructing the conscience and thereby forming it. For some of your hearers, this will result in activating their consciences, making them more sensitive, so they become more aware of their sin and more urgently seek the Gospel. For others, it is a re-instruction.

The "External Word" Is the Authoritative Word of God, Too

Revelation 2:12-17 | To the Church in Pergamum: Part 2 | 016

Many say Balaam was a prophet, but this was not so. Balaam was no prophet. At least, not a prophet of Yahweh.

Revelation 2:12-17 | To the Church in Pergamum: Part 1 | 015

Jesus has a mighty weapon which is the weapon of His warfare, the sword of His mouth, the very Word of God.

Preaching to C & E Christians

No doubt a few preachers cringe at the thought of "C and E" (Christmas and Easter) Christians showing up for Christmas Eve services...I must confess, when I preach on Christmas and Easter, I do not share this sentiment held by some of my peers.
