I went to church twice yesterday, as usual. The morning service was a united service in a local Presbyterian church. The best description I could come up with for the Minister of that church is that his presentational style sucked the will to live out of me! He was difficult to understand, monotone in delivery and when he was preaching there was no sense of excitement over God's Word, no enthusiasm. It was dreadful. It was worse than dreadful, it was embarrassing!
In the evening I went to our usual fellowship meeting. The worship was wonderful, and the preacher, Hugh Waddell, overflowed with enthusiasm, excitement and a real sense of wonder about the God he was talking about. It was if God was putting back all that had been lost in the morning!
As preachers we have a responsibility to those we share God's Word with. God's Word is exciting, challenging, life changing. It should never be boring!
