How To Stir Things Up!

How To Stir Things up! ... (Acts 19:23)
Preach One God and his name and anger the nominal
Preach salvation in the name and anger the traditional
Preach ask Jesus into your heart and anger the pentecostal
Preach holiness and anger the carnal
Preach separation and anger the materialist
Preach this is my time and not the end time and anger the futurist
Preach anything but his gospel and anger God!

The Sister in The Tight Skirt

I visited a church the other day, the preacher mentioned the necessity of women wearing long dresses and being covered from head to toe. I noticed the nervousness of the two ladies in front of me, two of them were curvaceous. It must be hard to conceal ones curves when one has a larger physical frame. I think they were rather new to the church too. I thought its a shame that a pastor has to publicly put down down another, why not have a chat in person, if he has too. The pulpit is not a beating place and if one has to say something that's personal and critical, use wisdom, you're be more effective that way. Regarding the law, well if were going to keep one point lets keep them all and if we can't do that we are condemned by the very law we ourselves cannot keep. So friend, good preaching is not an ability to be rash and pompous but wise and Christlike. The strength is not in your shout or rebuke but in your humility and love.  A sister offended is harder to be won that a strong city. Next time you preach on winning the city, first win the sister in the tight skirt!

Don't deny the Name of Jesus at Baptism

To have power we have to have the name of Jesus. We have to be baptized "into" the name, into the fulness of the one who bears it. We receive of his fulness, when we are become one with him, through baptism.  If a man is baptized in the titles of Matthew 29:19 then he has not the revelation of the name and hence has no authority that comes with it, whereas those who take on the  name themselves acknowledge the deity who bears it.

And he COMMANDED them to be baptized in the NAME of the Lord" (Acts 10:47,48). How can a man command devils if he himself has not obeyed Christ’s command!

Look at this scripture. They were rebaptized. Why? It is because they were not baptized into the name under Johns baptism (repentance). Baptism without calling on the name of Jesus is in vain. We are baptized into Christ and only in him have we God’s authority to go into all the world and preach the gospel baptizing others in his name, casting out demons healing the sick .Only those who carry his name can preach his person and teach his way. The denial of the name at salvation therefore is a serious issue. Therefore, work it out with fear and trembling. (Acts 2:38).
