Re preaching and teaching.

Biblical preaching without application is no preaching at all.

God bless.

Still waiting for the "green light" from the higher powers to use Bob Utley's notes-since very few knows about him.

 

[WIP]

Is there a question here about our faith that you are asking? I don't see it and this is the Question and Answer forum.

My apologies WIP -the question is-"I am still awaiting to go ahead to use Bob Utley's hermeneutical notes" from the higher powers.

If this post is in the wrong section-delete it-since I am still getting to know this Forum.
Shalom

The Questions and Answers forum is for members to ask questions about our faith and for Christian CFnet members to answer. In this forum we do not allow for continued debating between members but only allow for follow-up questions for the purpose of gaining clarity.

It does not sound like that is what you are doing. What is your purpose for posting this? It will help me determine a more appropriate forum to place it.

Just a thought-

HUMAN SPEECH

I. OPENING THOUGHTS FROM PROVERBS

A. Language is part of the image of God in mankind (i.e., creation is spoken into existence and God talks to His human creation). It is a vital part of our personhood.

B. Human speech enables us to communicate to others how we feel about life. Therefore, it reveals who we really are (Pro. 18:2; 4:23,20-27). Speech is the acid test of the person (Pro. 23:7).

C. We are social creatures. We are concerned with acceptance and affirmation. We need it from God and from our fellow humans. Words have the power to meet these needs in both positive (Pro. 17:10) and negative (Pro. 12:18) ways.

D. There is tremendous power in human speech (Pro. 18:20-21)—power to bless and heal (Pro. 10:11,21) and power to curse and destroy (Pro. 11:9).

E. We reap what we sow in this area (Pro. 12:14).

II. PRINCIPLES FROM PROVERBS

A. The negative and destructive potential of human speech

1. the words of evil men (1:11-19; 10:6; 11:9,11; 12:2-6)

2. the words of the adulteress (5:2-5; 6:24-35; 7:5ff; 9:13-18; 22:14)

3. the words of the liar (6:12-15,19; 10:18; 12:17-19,22; 14:5,25; 17:4; 19:5,9,28; 21:28; 24:28; 25:18; 26:23-28)

4. the words of the fool (10:10,14; 14:3; 15:14; 18:6-8)

5. the words of false witnesses (6:19; 12:17; 19:5,9,28; 21:28; 24:28; 25:18)

6. the words of a gossip (6:14,19; 11:13; 16:27-28; 20:19; 25:23; 26:20)

7. the words too quickly spoken (6:1-5; 12:18; 20:25; 29:20)

8. the words of flattery (29:5)

9. too many words (10:14,19,23; 11:13; 13:3,16; 14:23; 15:2; 17:27-28; 18:2; 21:23; 29:20)

10. perverted words (17:20; 19:1)

B. the positive, healing and edifying potential of human speech

1. the words of the righteous (10:11,20-21,31-32; 12:14; 13:2; 15:23; 16:13; 18:20)

2. the words of the discerning (10:13; 11:12)

3. the words of knowledge (15:1,4,7,8; 20:15)

4. the words of healing (15:4)

5. the words of a gentle answer (15:1,4,18,23; 16:1; 25:15)

6. the words of a pleasant answer (12:25; 15:26,30; 16:24)

7. the words of the law (22:17-21)

III. THE OT PATTERN CONTINUES IN THE NT

A. Human speech enables us to communicate to others how we feel about life; therefore, it reveals who we really are (Matt. 12:33-37; 15:1-20; Mark 7:2-23).

B. We are social creatures. We are concerned with acceptance and affirmation. We need it from God and from our fellow man. Words have the power to meet these needs in both positive (2 Tim. 3:15-17) and negative (James 3:2-12) ways.

C. There is tremendous power in human speech; power to bless (Eph. 4:29) and power to curse (James 3:9). We are responsible for what we say (Matt. 12:36-37; James 3:2-12).

D. We will be judged by our words (Matt. 12:33-37; Luke 6:39-45) as well as our deeds (Matt. 25:31-46). We reap what we sow (Gal. 6:7).

Always remember to keep in mind that we must be careful. When we point our finger at someone, there are three pointing back at ourselves.

"Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
Matthew 7:3-5 NKJV

Wasn't addressed to you-a reminder to all who profess they are believers in Christ.
You Sir-are taking it personally.
You don't even address me by name.

You quoted my post. For that reason I understand that you were addressing me. I quoted your post and therefore, I am replying to you. That's how things work.

Think I will do a 100 push ups followed with a compound incline bench press.
Lol!

Could you clarify what you mean by a higher power?

If it is a question of copyright, you need to talk to the owner.

Hi J,
I had given you the go ahead.
I even commented that I didn't realize he was your Pastor.
You must have missed it...

You have made my day sister.
And I pray I won't do anything that would bring dishonor upon God's holy D'varim and break trust.
