Falling on deaf ears

Falling on deaf ears

I found this post by Al Mohler to be a sad but true testament to the current reality of ministry. Several from my flock have returned after vacation or visiting friends with a gleam in their eye having been fed a 10 minute sermon, 10 praise songs, and a great latte with a review of “it was a great service.” How heartbreaking to hear people are content with husks when God has a fatted calf. I’m the best preacher I can be, and aspire to be better; but I preach His Word of which I am not ashamed. It alone is the power of God unto salvation, it is living, it is powerful.
