preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.(2 Timothy 4:2 – ESV)
You are not preaching the Word if you are not preaching
· the whole counsel of God
· the Word being Christ, redemptive history
· gospel saturated more than morally motivated
You are not up to the biblical standard of preaching if you are not ready
. in season (comfortable atmosphere)
. out of season (confrontational atmosphere)
You are not preaching the Word if that word doesn’t ever
. reprove (expose)
. rebuke (correct)
. exhort (encourage)
You are not truly preaching as you ought if it is not done with
. complete patience (done by following the process of expose, correct, and encourage)
. teaching (instruction is more than just inspiration)
For the time will come, to all preachers, the test of fidelity

All new stuff!
With much of this post, we are talking about more than a single message...You obviously cannot do all of this in every single sermon, we are talking about preaching over a period of time...this is what a preacher's sermons should be "doing"...
Excellent word!
Thanks honey, for your prayers, support and life...you are a true blessing to all that know you...
Your life preaches to me...
You are so wonderful! I must be a reflection of your affect on me as you reflect Christ in you.
