I came across this from 12 months ago
I preached in a local chapel this evening. A key question is why? Why me and why preach? No one opened the Bible to read the passage, no one seemed to really engage with what I was saying, nobody said very much afterwards. Was there any point in doing what I did? Did I help anyone? Did God speak into anyone's life? Were we just going through the motions?
But I love the church, I love God's people, I love God. I believe that the 'word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
But was my preaching the word of God?
