THE PREACHER'S THEME

We read of the earliest preachers in the New Testament that "they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ." Christ and him crucified their constant theme to all people, at all times, in all places (Acts 5:42; 8s5, 35; 9:20; 17:3, 18). Let all who preach follow their example. A preacher who fails to preach Christ is like a lamp without a light bulbs utterly useless! He may be a pleasant ornament with which to decorate your religious house, but he is of absolutely no value to the souls of his hearers. God will not hold that preacher guiltless in the day of judgment (I Cor. 9:16; Ezek. 33:-7-8).
