Good Bible Preaching Brings Us Face to Face With God !

Saturday, March 13th, 2010


"But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;" Titus 1:3

Are we in a church fellowship that has good Bible preaching? If we are,
we should consider our church(or at least our pastor) a blessing. We are still focusing on prayer, a necessity in communing with God. Then there is taking the time for a one on one time with the Lord for personal Bible study. And now we must add some good old fashioned Bible preaching.
There have been a number of times I have been sitting under the preaching of a God fearing preacher and felt the Lord speak to me. It was not an audible voice, but He did speak to my heart with out doubt, and His presence was so real, I felt it was a face-to-face encounter with God.
Bible preaching lifts up Jesus Christ. Biblical preaching is more than a study of facts and statistics, it is the presentation of God to man. It is a time when we come face-to-face with God.
Today's idea of entering into the presence of God, is too often based on emotions instead of on the word of God. Good Bible preaching causes us to come face-to-face with God, His Word, and His will for our lives. Although sometimes we may not like it, it is a time we see ourselves as we really are, reflected in the mirror of the word of God.
Bible preaching reveals God. Bible preaching uplifts God's work. Bible preaching always glorifies Jesus Christ.
When the Word of God is preached and men and women are coming face to face with God through His Word, then they can truly praise the Lord and sing to Him and give praise to Him.
If you should come in carrying a burden, I encourage you to leave it at home or take it to the alter. If you want a face to face encounter with God, it cannot happen if you are holding something between the two of you. When we approach the Word of God through reading or preaching, we are literally approaching God Himself.
I encourage you to make time today to open God's Word and come into His presence.

Have a blessed day,
