Preaching is preaching. Anyone can do it, and most try. The question isn't can I preach? the real question is "What am I preaching?" Any one can preach their opinions, ideas or even their own desires. But true Biblical preaching has that one element that everyone else lacks. True preaching releases the love, grace and encouragement of God into people. Religious preaching results is guilt and condemnation. It is a way to control and box people in. Jesus had a way of speaking that helped people, encouraged them and inspired them to greatness. I found this next statement to be true......people preach what they are. If you have grace, then your preaching results in grace being released. If you are graceless, then your preaching is always hammering and dictating but rarely edifying. Don't preach just to speak. Preach to release the Kingdom of God into others. Preach to inspire and encourage. Preach to help people. Many don't realize it but facebook, myspace and other social mediums are your pulpit. Everything you post is a sermon of who you are and what God is doing in you. So, who are you? What is God doing in you?
have a great day
