Sermon or Monologue

My pastor's sermon; is it a sermon or monologue?
What is a sermon? Is it the same as preaching? What does a pastor preach? His own words? If it were his own words, it would be a monologue, where no one as a say, where they are forced to listen to what a person is talking about.  A monologue is a conservation with oneself without any input or backing of outside sources like for example, an interjection or a disagreement.  No one in this world is forced to listen what they don't want to hear for this is the reason why free will exists; to do what we want to do, no matter the consequences that might follow. 
 
Pastor preaches God's word. but for what purpose? To edify, to build, to shape ones thinking. What I think or what you think is not applicable to God's will. In God's will there are no buts and no excuses; one must come out of comfort and face the reality that is life. Do you regard your time as precious and valuable? or do you just waste it like it has no purpose or end? 

The preaching of God's word is for us to put it into practice in our daily lives. If you don't, you are just wasting your time going to church on Sundays or any day of week that you go to church.  

A sermon to teach, while a monologue is to rant.

Negligence

How am I that God calls his own? Who am I that God came to this world in human form to suffer and ultimately  died for me? I haven't gone to church since this health crisis started back in March. I haven't opened my Bible since March. I can only go as far as God permits. He has control of everything that I do. If it wasn't for Him, I wouldn't be married now, there wouldn't a baby on the way.      For me to fall away as east is from the west, it only takes one choice. Everyday we make decisions and those decisions are what shapes us, for the better or for the worse; but in all of that, God is in control.     My life is hanging by a very thin thread and if I'm not careful, my life as I know it will be very chaotic. Right now, my life is going smooth, but bumpy  in a spiritual sense. Sometimes I ask myself when I will turn back to God. I've been very negligent when it comes to reading my Bible and attending church (I do say my prayers now and then). ...

Constant struggle

In life, you'll face your worst enemy; yourself. There is a constant struggle between your soul that is born again and that of your old nature. That old nature was you before God came into your life. Now you are a new person; but you got to nurture that part of yourself that is connected to God. There will be times in your life when you will feel that you can't continue like that; letting God down. God knows your limit, He knows your weakness and knows what you are capable of. God knows that you are  capable to triumph over that sin, which doesn't leave  you alone; but your view is blocking that that is good and healthy for your soul. Dont go thru life without telling God your sorry, that your sorry for being so stubborn, so childish. We all are fools for trusting ourselves, when we had the opportunity to trust Him who died for us and gave his life for us. Please understand that God wants your well being, dont let your problems and struggles block  that which...

Empowered by God (Eph. 6:10)

    Empowered by Him, the second  in this 13 part series of my R.E.S.P.O.N.S.I.B.I.L.I.T.Y  as a Christian.     My responsibility  as a Christian is that I need to be empowered by the Holy Spirit,  I need ask to for it. How else will I succeed? How else will I be able to climb obstacles that are in my way? I need to be strong in the Lord and not faint by every little thing; everything is little when you have a God that is larger than life, when you have a God that time and space cannot contain Him, it is He who contains them.    God did not call me to be weak, He did not call me to be sorry for myself or being sorry for someone else; each of one us has potentials to do great things in life, we just need to be mindful of our positions as Christians.   Ask God to empower you so that you can do great things for him, we were bought with a great price; let the blood that was shed on Calvary mean something, because it ...
