"the joy of the Lord is my strength." Nehemiah 8:10
When Ezra the priest preached to the assembled people, the people all wept and were sorrowful.
"For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law." Neh. 8:9
So, when pastor Ezra preached, the people wept.
But, when pastor Nehemiah took over the service, he changed the tone and he got the people to laugh and to be happy and to give.
What kind of preacher are you my brother. Are people happy when you preach, or are they happy when you finally stop preaching?
The letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive.
