2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
It is not always easy to sit and listen to a sermon, when the congregation is familiar with the text of the sermon, and it seems that the person presenting the sermon somewhere along the line seemed to have missed the point. The result of this is on the way home from church the debate is about how the point was missed, and that knowing the text that this should have been said as well etc. etc. The final outcome is that there was possibly more thinking taking place on a poorly presented sermon, and more discussion, than what might have been with a sermon that was well constructed with no room for debate. God uses His word and His word will never come back void!
In the same way when we do things and we do not always do them well, these may have better results than what we may have expected. It is better to get people to think for in this way they start to get involved, and when they get involved they become co-workers in the Kingdom. We should always allow room for debate, because when we speak about things we think about what we say and so become part of the debate.
Be encouraged today to get the best out of what we hear.
David
Point to ponder: God will use anything to get us to know Him, even a poor sermon.
Question to consider: Do you hear the man or do you hear God?
