[DeuteronomyCh8]

Tell Paul that "long windedness" is not required.
Tell Jesus that "long windedness" is not required.
Tell John the Baptist, Moses, Daniel and Elijah.

Question...

Have you ever really STUDIED your BIBLE?

2 Timothy 2:15
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

The best preachers in the world don't usually speak for over an hour. Lets be real, how many pastors actually prepare enough so that they have true content for an hour sermon. I have witnessed this before where a preacher can preach long winded and still have value in his sermon but it is usually very rare.

In the Church we all minister 24/7 and are most effective is outside the walls of where we assemble.
Sorry you measure your spirituality and calling on the hours logged in.

Nuff said.

Is prayer and worship effective? What about "hearing" the word? MY BIBLE says :

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17


Friend, praytell me scripture for your remarks. (?) These are NOT my words but GOD's words.

Whats this balance you refer to? Your time versus God's time. Have you ignored the scriptures.

If I sat in a service to hear a 30 minute "sermonet" to tickle my fancy and was dimissed to my own time.........well I'd find another service before the night was out.

Reminds me. People spend more time eating dinner after church than it took to get fed the Word of GOD. It's laughable at best. (but not real funny)

And YES I judge my "spirituality and calling" by the hours I'm logged in. Thats an excellent way of putting it.

Usually the deepest subjects can be brought up and thoroughly discussed in less then an hour IF the person stays on point.

Who cares if there is a special event, seminar or day-time agenda where the speaker goes longer than our normal format. Jesus preached long enough that they needed lunch. Let's not get off-point here.

Best preachers?????? This statement concerns me. Whats a "BEST" preacher?

Have you ever listened to Verbal Bean? Carl Ballestero? Ike Terry? Larry Booker? Johnathan Alvear? Steve McMullen? Tim Copeland? R.G. "Bud" Davis?
Phil White? Joel Holmes? Caleb Adams? Wade Townley? Joseph Abshire? Danny Perdew? Johnny King? Ray Majors? Keith Hood? Vaughn Morton? O.R. Fauss? L.E. Robertson?

I've got 212 more if needed. (?) And I've heard them ALL preach over an hour. Most of them close to two hours. One was 4 hrs!

AND I LOVED IT!

The hearing of the Word in your Levitical mindset happens only when one is doused with the verbiage of one's revered preacher/shaman ....at a baptism or a carbon copied, hopping preaching session every Sunday to be fully saved.

In the NT Church we find ... the priesthood of all believers .... we find that each member has gifts .... each saint ministers while the five-fold ministry perfects the saints so they can minister ...

In your works based paradigm ... spirituality is measured by the amount of hours logged/punched in at the local assembly doing Pentecost and parading dress code holiness ....

In your paradigm preaching the word is reduced to in-house motivational speaking ... inspiring and soliticiting call and response. Petting a man's ego.

And annointed preaching is mistaken for a sweat drenched shirt, tie, suit and pom-poms.

While the rest of the world doesn't admittedly know you exist - see DKB.

Understanding that the eating together in corporate fellowship was just as much the Apostolic church model of Acts as was the preaching of the word ...
Read the sermon transcripts in Acts .... maybe they are just highlights but they presented the Gospel effectively and concisely ... without the theatrics, spit-saturated mic and the obligatory "ahas"" ... we mistake spirituality for ....

A habitual 2 hour preacher is selfish ... not selfless if that preaching is constantly directed in saving the saved and not directed or targeted to the lost.

This 2 hour teaching in particular we can agree was not evangelistic in nature.

Every thread needs at least one completely random post.

Here's one for this thread:

I could use a good two hour dose of Michael Durso's teaching about now.

Well, if you're gonna preach till midnight, you better know how to raise the dead like Paul did, just in case.
