Smile Poll: What is Preaching?

Is preaching the word of God, or is it commentary on the word of God?

I'm not saying everything that is preached is directly from the Spirit of God but for sure, some of it is.

There is no doubt that certain preachers are in touch with God, and deliver what they strongly feel is the voice of God. All I am saying is that God's word is established in the Holy Bible, and anything a preacher says or does MUST line up with what has already been established centuries ago.

If it doesn't line up with established scripture, it's nothing but hogwash!

As we expound the Word of God (Scriptures), we explain the Word (God's written revelation to humankind). As long as what we say agrees with the written word, we are presenting the Word of God.

and it can also be neither if we are just giving our opinions, putting forth the "party line," or adding to or taking from the written Word.

Re: Poll: What is Preaching?

It is talking LOUD for the purpose of self gratification. Shouting so that those listening can shout BACK in "agreement". It is about repeating a few well known bible versus, each with a "ahhhh huh!" appended to the end while the speaker basks in the stage glory.
