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.

A must....

What have I done? What have you done? Are we really serving our Lord with all our heart and soul? Are we really in love with our Lord? Has our priority changed? Has our values changed? have our focus in life changed? And if so, who made us changed it? Why can't we just accept God's will and stop making excuses, who are trying to hide from? To whom do our hearts belong to to? I must stop making excuses and start living the life that God wants me to live. We must stop making excuses and start living for God and not for ourselves.

Ecclesiastes 7:14

The world is full of injustice and of sin, they are equal in size and in strength; but that doesn't mean that there is no hope. Life in this world was wonderfully created but Lucifer didn't what it that way, he had to butt in on Adam and Eve, he was jealous of their connection to God; that same connection he had before he decided to sit on God's throne, to be like him.   Just like bacteria exist in our body, sin was always present, it means missing the mark and Lucifer purposely missed it by trying to be just like God. So , when trouble comes your way, don't ask why; ask what can I learn? We all are sinners because of Adam did on that not so joyful day, when he decided to  be persuaded by Eve in taking a bite out of that forbidden fruit.  The injustice will always happen, it means  to doubt God's grace and mercy, it means to take God out of our daily life, it means for us to be indifferent towards God's goal, which is to share the Gospel of Christ. ...

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). ...
