“He who rejects Me, and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day

Someone has [preacher] said; “If you throw a Brick in The Middle of An “Hog Pen” the one you hit will, “Squeal” the LOUDEST!!


NASB 1977
“For by your words you shall be justified, and by your words you shall be condemned.”


There so many old church school saying that have been lost down threw the decades, that many called “Common sense” or good old “Horse Sense”.

When I was a young preacher, I have people come up to me mad, Saying who told you I did that, and stop putting my business in the street! And you do not know what they are talking about. A whole hour of Preaching and you do not know what you said that related to them.

I was not even preaching about them neither did I know anything about their life! Or what kind of mess they were in!

Those old pastors told me I would have some days like that.

People think somebody told you what they were doing, in the dark. And now you are putting their sins out in the congregation, and you have not even mention their name.

It made you scared to preach.

Especially “Outlined Sermons” or unscripted ones, with Just a Title and Text the Title was Taken out of.

One good reason I came to believe Expository preaching is better and most excellent and Discipline.

The Lord Jesus Christ said:-

' I am come a light into the world,
.. that whosoever believeth on Me
.... should not abide in darkness.
...... And if any man hear My words, and believe not, I judge him not:
........ for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
.......... He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him:
............ the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of Myself;
.. but the Father which sent Me, He gave me a commandment,
.... what I should say, and what I should speak.
...... And I know that His commandment is life everlasting:
........ whatsoever I speak therefore,
.......... even as the Father said unto Me,
............ so I speak.'
(John 12:46-50)

Praise God!

The Apostle Paul said:-

'Therefore seeing we have this ministry,
.. as we have received mercy, we faint not;
.... But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty,
...... not walking in craftiness,
........ nor handling the word of God deceitfully;
.......... but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience
............ in the sight of God.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
.. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
.... lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
...... For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord;
........ and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
.. hath shined in our hearts,
.... to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
...... in the face of Jesus Christ.'
(2 Cor. 4:1-6)

Praise God!
