The preacher must obey God
rather than man He must do
what the Holy Spirit indicates to
him that he should do
The main reason a preacher does
preach is that he feels In his heart
Ood wants him to preach and that
U(xl has selected the means of
preaching as His way of saving
this old sin-cursed world and with-
out preaching the lost remain lost
The preacher knows the estate of
the lost and he has love in his
soul for both God and the lust,
therefore he preaches to try to win
men ffont sin to righteousness Of
course, the devil is trying all the
time to ruin the preacher’ mes-
sage so people will not take to it
and be saved 11 the preacher
loves the Ix>rd and the lost enough
he will have enough power to as-
sist him In doing the will of the
Lord
The preacher wants to see the
kingdom of God built upon the
earth and he know, preaching is
the way God planned to save the
world He feels the urge in his
soul to obey the Lord and he loves
I hts fellowman, therefore, he tries
to call men to repentance and get
them to line up with Ood and do j
I His win
