The job of a firebrand is to set things on fire and if you want to be one of the Lord's firebrands then you got to
positively
Affect other people now burning things up doesn't sound like a positive thing, but think about how the kingdom of God works
That's how it works
you know you get one person saved and
You get you get a bunch of people saved and those people get other people saved and those people get other people saved and the
Way, it's supposed to work is a big multiplication an exponential growth of people being saved
But not everybody wants to be saved that's the problem
But you know and the other problem is there's a lot of people out there not doing a thing
Not doing anything for the kingdom of God not helping the kingdom of God not even going soul-winning ever
How are you a pastor and you never go soul-winning?
How is that possible? I?
Mean
There's people in other churches that I was just talking to brother Larson about this earlier that
he was trying to go to this church in Tri-Cities and
You know the guy they do a 45-minute orchestra song so into they solve an orchestra
Yeah, big or they have like a big orchestra
I like they even have like a big drum that annoys me, but anyway. I've been to that church before
but you know what they were reduced to 45 minutes of singing in a 15-minute sermon a
Baptist Church an independent
fundamental Baptist Church with like seven pastors on staff
Seven I'm not even kidding you there
They all have us like office space and every pastor has their own office next to the building
And they're all pastors of different things the pastors of the bus the pastors of the youth the pastors of
This and that the jail ministry and all the other things that they have going on brother Eli went to that church, too
right yeah, Riverview I
I
Used to think that was a fired-up church though
But you know what the problem is with that church is they try there's a brother Robert was telling me that there's people that go
Out and they hand out invitation
But yeah, and some of them you know what they call soul winning is the bus ministry
That's what most Baptist churches will say we got soul winning
It's the bus ministry go knock on doors and try to get kids signed up for the bus ministry
So you can get that kid safe. There's nothing wrong with that
There's nothing wrong with getting people saved. I'm not I'm not knocking that
But like when you're going knocking why don't you try to get the person saved at the door?
He said people try to do that, but they just don't really know what they're doing
That's a disgrace to those pastors. They're on that church
Because if there's seven pastors don't you think one of those guys?
Might not might know how to go soul winning and show somebody else how to get somebody saved
It's
Ridiculous
That is the state of affairs in
Baptist Christianity right now and they want to sit there and knock people in our movement and knock pastors of what friends with and
Say that they're bad. They're wrong. How dare you preach against that? How dare you preach against this? Why because you're too scared
Because you got a church full of blue hairs that won't do anything and you're afraid to preach on things because they'll stop getting
the tithe check
It's weak
Though they got all kinds of
Events and things that they do we do too. We do all kinds of events and things like that
Not at the expense of our soul winning ministry. That's always going to be number one
