Biblical preaching

I got to the point a few months ago that I felt it was very important to teach the children how to judge whether preaching was truly biblical or not. We read through pastoral epistles noted what Paul said the topic of preaching was to be. Then we took some examples of preaching we had heard recently and put them to the test.

Baptists generally call what I did with the children wrong because it isn't showing respect to the preacher. I am going to argue with that and say that my first duty is to the Word of God.
If a man is not true to Scripture, can he rightfully he called a preacher of the Word? I say unequivocally NO. He must be faithful to the Word.

If he on occasion messes up, that is one thing;if he consistently gets it wrong, that is entirely different. No one should stay at a church where the preaching is not consistent with Scripture.

We cannot fail to employ our brains and test what we are hearing if we are to keep the Church pure from our known faults. When church members fail to give heed to the truth of Scripture over the doctrines of men, the church will waver and crumble.

Open your Bibles and make sure that the things you are being taught are consistent with Christ.
