Negative Preaching / Positive Living
Something to think about!!! I heard a preacher at Camp meeting about 25 to 30 years ago say “We use to have negative preaching and positive living, now we have positive preaching and negative living.” I know people want to hear positive messages, and I do to, but their ain’t no power unless you have the negative and positive preaching. Before you can get a man saved, you first of all have got to get him lost, and that happens by showing him he has broken the law (Gal.3:24) and have him hanging over hell, thinking he’s about to fall into it and then you can throw out the life line of the gospel. And if they have not been desensitized by Helli wood, and has any senses left, he will cry out for grace and mercy in godly sorrow, repenting and ask Jesus to come into his life, and be his Lord, and take up the cross and follow Him. With signs everywhere pointing to the soon coming of the Lord, any day now, surely we would be warning people like Noah did their is a flood coming, get in the ark of safety (Jesus) before the door is shut. The great preacher Charles Spurgeon wrote “A time is coming when Instead of shepherds feeding sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining goats.” Oh, Church wake up. Jeremiah 9:1 “O that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night…” someone may ask for what, for the lukewarm church to awake, (Rev.3:14-22) before the larger portion is poured out into the tribulation. (Matt.16:27-28, 17:1) Noah’s day did not believe it, neither did they believe it when Jesus came (Luk.19:41-44) and neither do they believe it in our day. (Matt.24:39) Oh Lord we need revival, let it start in me. Maranatha!!!!!
