Few Words

There are times when people think that the longer the message, the more impact it will have. That is not always true. I have had four line poems really touch me, over a full length sermon manuscript. If you can plant just one seed of truth in the minds of your listeners, you have accomplished more than you realized.

 Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:2 "Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few." 

What is said before God, must be thought through with sincerity and clarity. Humility is key in our thoughts that are expressed before God, and our listeners.

It is better, so much better, to have our words be few!

 I want my messages on Sunday morning to not be long and dull, but sincere and encouraging!

Please pray for me, as I prepare, as well as for all the pastors that prepare messages from God's Word. GP
