I predict that sermons will all but destroy the institution of speech making.
In a hundred years no one will want to hear brilliant oration.
What happens in the church (good or bad) leads the world. And if the church is preoccupied or distracted with nonsense, (the same Christian giving weekly religious talks to the same crowd of Christians that are ineffective, is nonsense).
Furthermore it is nonsense because it is unbiblical, it’s ineffective for real discipleship, and it requires Christians not do what the Lord is leading us to do. And that is to let our light shine toward one another during our gatherings.
Sermons being the misguided center will have ripple effects for generations.
Whenever this does happen widespread and I pray I’m around to experience it, the word of God will be shared person to person again. It will be amazing!
