Preaching the Gospel is a great honor. This high honor dictates a careful and reverent handling of the truth. The goal must forever be in mind however, that of reception rather than dispensing. In the Gospel of Luke, Luke states, “So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?" (Luke 4:22 NKJV). Delivery is the key! The gracious words of Christ carried the Gospel message of hope and life. When the proclamation of God’s word is not tempered with love it stings and is not received (1 Cor. 13). The result is hurt and offense.
When you care for people you minister with care. This saying rings true, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much care.”
Serve with Care!
