99.9% of preachers/pastors useless to God


99.9% of preachers/pastors (let alone priests) are useless to God. Why? Because they refuse to proclaim the actual Word of God to the world. They want to proclaim the word of man. They want to bloviate and indulge their vanity and worldly pride and proclaim anything and everything other than the actual Word of God (i.e. the actual Words of the Word of God). They affect to 'teach'. No, you can't teach doctrine from a pulpit. Nobody learns doctrine like that. It's too passive. It requires a much more active, self-motivated approach to learn doctrine. What is effective - and what must come prior to learning doctrine - is hearing the actual Word of God. This is what regenerates souls. This is the effectual call. Your own words are not an effectual call. The words of man can't regenerate. The preacher/Bible-teacher who reached me read from the Bible itself. Just simply read the actual Word of God. The complete Word of God (and yes AV1611). He didn't care if his audience got bored or went away. He knew that God wanted him to proclaim the actual Word of God and that that is what has effect in regenerating souls. This inane business of 'sermonizing' while never reading anything more - usually - than a single quote of Scripture is morally retarded. Get your inane, vain selves out of the way, preachers and pastors, and allow the Word of God to do what only it can do.
