Preaching Intelligently
or How to Preach to Dumb People
By Pastor Missionary David Cox
You ask me, why this topic? I was sitting in a sermon of another person, and as always it seems (I like my own preaching maybe 70% of the time), I didn’t like the fellow’s presentation or delivery and I was making some mental notes so that at least in my own preaching I can avoid what I saw. I realized that a lot of my mental notes would benefit others, especially young preachers, novice preachers.

What about the destruction of a Good Preacher? Let’s say for a moment that you preach the messages that God gives you, and that you do it in a very excellent manner. In other words, you “get through to” people with those messages. People’s lives change, but also very important, you are being effective for the Lord. Just suppose for a moment that this happens occasionally and then more often. How does Satan destroy you? Because he will not give up opposing what you are doing, so he will tempt you with temptation, but you resist. He will imply that you sin (which you do sin) but that doesn’t derail your ministry. What next?
Criticism, the weapon which is a sword with two edges.
Why people stay in your church is a article by Pastor David Cox who is a missionary in Mexico and has pastored for 35+ years on his observations over the years. In this article, I want to focus on why people stay in a church.
