Exhortation for preachers and teachers

When the Bible teacher stands up we should be speaking the Word of God. We should be speaking what we have heard from God in His Word. The people of God don't need to hear the latest fad sermons or the latest book you have read but they need to hear from God through His Word. You and I must have heard from God in order to give His word for the hour. We must have been in the secret place alone with Him hearing His heart (Matthew 6:6). Quotes are fine. Illustrations are fine. But hear from God first and foremost before filling your teachings with the words of men.
