Great Preaching Will Reduce the Size of Your Congregation

Yes, great preaching will reduce the size of your congregation. Remember there are wheat and tares in a congregation. There are sheep and goats. Goats will eat anything except that which is pure and holy. True doctrine is hard to swallow for a goat. Sheep are looking for the truth. Sheep cannot become goats. This is not conversion. Conversion is when a sheep recognizes he is lost and turns toward the Shepherd. Jesus said to Peter, "Feed my sheep. He did not say, "Hey. feed the goats!" If we love Jesus, we will stick to feeding His sheep with His food, the Word of God. nce
