To be effective as ministers of the Gospel, we must be contagious.
God’s Truth needs to be something that we breathe, something that we ache with, something that we love. If we don’t feel it within our soul, we desperately need to ask ourselves why.
Whatever our ministry, we need to passionately live out the Gospel. We are not living because of facts about God, we are living because of the love of God. And this can only be communicated through passion. Remember that people rarely fall in love with facts, but they do fall in love with love.
Along these lines, Matt Chandler offers some great advice in this brief Resurgence video. He shares advice for young preachers, but even if you don’t preach, his suggestions are still valuable.
