Don’t Forget
Israel had gone through 40 years of wilderness wanderings where they literally were dependent on God for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Every day, the Lord brought them manna, which would be waiting for them outside of their tent. But when they were poised to enter into a land flowing with milk and honey, a land of abundance, the Lord gave them a warning, essentially saying, “Now as you enter into this land, I want you to remember Me. After you have eaten and are full, do not forget the Lord.”

An Ambassador
Alex Montoya’s Preaching With Passion is a defense of preaching and a practical how-to. One of Montoya’s concerns is that the preacher preach with authority. Here is a short quote in which he writes about the importance of serving as an ambassador of the Lord.Listen to what Lloyd-Jones says, and dare never to be wishy-washy again:The preacher should never be apologetic, he should never give the impression that he is speaking by their leave as it were; he should not be tentatively putting forward certain suggestions and ideas. That is not to be his attitude at all. He is a man, who is there to “declare” certain things; he is a man under commission and under authority. He is an ambassador, and he should be aware of his authority. He should always know that he comes to the congregation as a sent messenger.Hence, as an ambassador,preach the Word of God authoritatively, and use the expression “Thus saith the Lord”;preach to represent your Lord authentically (cf. 1 Cor. 4:1-4);preach in the second person; do not be afraid to say, “you!”;preach to apply the text; a prophet speaks to his generation (cf. Luke 3:10-14);preach for a personal and visible response; refuse to let people “hesitate between two opinions” (cf. 1 Kings 18:21);preach to be clearly understood and not to please the audience; andpreach fearlessly and flawlessly; don’t let the messenger influence the message negatively (cf. 1 Tim. 4:11-16; 2 Cor. 13:10).Advertise here via BEACON

What They See When They Come to Your Church
In the context of serious theological discussions, it may seem trivial to write about first impressions of guests when they visit your church. But, if we could understand that a returning guest has more opportunities to hear the gospel and experience Christian love and fellowship, we might take the issue a bit more seriously.

Last week I finished a nine week series on the Sermon on the Mount entitled “The Glorious Impossibility.” I opened the series by saying that we naturally treat the Sermon on the Mount like we typically treat the rest of the Bible–like it’s a divine self-help manual, a blueprint for having your best life now.
