Can They Reach The Cookies?
SEPTEMBER 12, 2022
Daily Reading – Pro. 8-9 / 1 Co. 14
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
1 Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
I have heard many a sermon where the preacher used a lot of big words that no one understood. He sounded intelligent, but who knows?
I read a phrase, “Aspirants for literary advancement should religiously eschew polysyllabic orthography.” It means, “Use simple words.”
One of the best compliments I have received as a preacher is, “You sure make it simple.” Another Evangelist friend said, “When preaching, keep the cookies on the bottom shelf where people can reach them.” In 1 Cor. 14:9 Paul says this too. He said, “utter… words easy to be understood.”
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
What good does it do to impress someone with your biblical knowledge if they don’t understand what you’ve said when you leave?
