#preaching — Public Fediverse posts

Whenever a Chiristian makes the news preaching in public and annoying people, commenters inevitably quote Matthew 6:5-6. I think about this and speculate there's a deeper, spiritual bit of good advice to be found here.

Random reflections from hour #6 of #ShavuotLive from Judaism Unbound
This hour was by John Argaman on the topic of "Why do we need sermons" was excellent. The most important message he gave was an encouragement that religious communities should ask good questions about why they do sermons, and then give serious thought to how to change services and sermons to meet these goals.
I also agreed with several in the chat that discussed how that we wish that Jewish sermons looked more like sermons in non-white traditions, especially with providing opportunities for call-and-response, sponateous immediate responses, etc.

I really despise this whole 'Your Silence Is Compliance' trip that people lay on us when it all gets political, because actually no, it's not, my silence is AuDHD, Complex Trauma and Borderline Personality Disorder trying VERY hard indeed not to call you out as a bullying, domineering piece of sh*t, and focus on functioning.

Some of us have some very much internal politics we need to do deal with, your politics just makes us lock up and spin out.

This morning I would ask that you please #pray for me and the congregation I serve. This is my last #sunday with them. It is a bittersweet moment… my family and I are excited to be heading towards reception into the #Anglican church, but I will miss ministering to this people through #preaching and #sacrament.

Quoted this in my sermon this morning: "We Christians in the United States are rebellious. We rebel against every sort of authority, both human and divine: the authority of the Church … and ultimately of God himself. We resent that any of these should presume to call themselves our superiors. We chafe at any duty that we may owe them. WE disobey them upon the flimsiest pretexts. And we boast in doing so.” (from: Christopher Hoyt, "Under Authority: Practicing Submission in a Rebellious Society," 1). That is a tough, but necessary word for us Christians (yes, even us Evangelicals) to hear nowadays.
In the sermon I was primarily speaking of our need to submit to Christ's authority. But we also (especially those of us in Evangelical circles) need to recover a biblical understanding of authority and submission regarding Christ's Church; for she is called his "body"(see: Eph. 1:22-23, Col. 1:18, 24, 1 Cor. 12:12-27) and his "bride" (see: Eph. 5:25-32, 2 Cor. 11:2, Rev. 19:7, 21:2).
As such the authority of Christ's Church and our need to submit to the Church's authority (found in both her faithful leaders and the Church itself, insofar as she is faithful as an institution) cannot be optional, rather it is incumbent upon those who profess themselves to be Christians (see: Heb. 13:17, 1 These. 5:12-13, 1 Tim. 5:17, 1 Pet. 5:5).
Rebelliousness towards Christ’s Church is just as biblically unfaithful as rebelliousness towards Christ himself.

#christianity #faith #preaching

What are good ways to preach #God 's word? 📖 Without annoying 😠 and angering 💢 others. Why time 🕑 and place 🏟️ matters if you're trying to win people over.

What do I mean by time 🕑 and place, 🏟️ and "good ways" to #preach and spread the word of God's creation?

If there is an event that might seem to 'encourage people to #sin "

Instead of interrupting those against peoples will and #preaching out of no where. (which is how people will view it therefore, making a bad look of #Christianity to others.)

Wouldn't it be better to set up a clearly organized event, maybe a social media page, where people might stumble upon your content. While not disturbing or interrupting someone elses event. (disturbing someones event is like distrupting their #movie viewing in #theatres.) 🍿

There is a distinction because as Christians we are suppose to share God's word with #love, and spread the word.

By rudely interrupting other events and talking over and preaching around people that don't want to hear. It gives Christianity a bad perception to those on the outside. It makes whoever is preaching in this way look rude, and selfish to those on the outside of Christianity.

When preaching to or around others, to an extent, the time and place matters.

A quotation from Orwell

The thing that drove Dickens forward into a form of art for which he was not really suited, and at the same time caused us to remember him, was simply the fact that he was a moralist, the consciousness of “having something to say.” He is always preaching a sermon, and that is the final secret of his inventiveness. For you can only create if you can care.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1939), “Charles Dickens,” sec. 6, Inside the Whale (1940-03-11)

"The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible."

This was my favourite Jehovah's Witness song when I was a little kid. I used to sing it all the time. Listening to it now, it feels very creepy. It is explicitly about religious colonization. https://youtu.be/h3S6PQ1Dpkg #ExJW #hymns #ReligiousMusic #preaching #Colonization

James William Massie, Scottish nondenominational, missionary to India, describes the horror of watching a widow being forcefully burned. He complains that the British occupiers would control everything in India except this, for money.

Wikipedia falsely states that in sati the widow “places herself” on the flames.

How can you avoid “toleration” of cruelties in order to meet some higher business or religious objective?

I enjoy introducing new rhythms to my #BibleReading. My latest experiment is to try a #JournalingBible for the whole year, as a record, an archive of my personal #devotions. I've gotten a new #Bible to use for that year before, but not one designed specifically for journaling. As a #pastor, I do a lot of reading for #preaching and #BibleStudy. But it's also important to set aside time for #enrichment, #solitude, #prayer, and #contemplation beyond my "job."
