How is the Word of God to be preached by those that are called thereunto?

Pray for your pastor.

From the Westminster Larger Catechism:

Q. 159. How is the Word of God to be preached by those that are called thereunto?

A. They that are called to labor in the ministry of the word, are to preach sound doctrine, diligently, in season and out of season; plainly, not in the enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power; faithfully, making known the whole counsel of God; wisely, applying themselves to the necessities and capacities of the hearers; zealously, with fervent love to God and the souls of his people; sincerely, aiming at his glory, and their conversion, edification, and salvation.

  1. I wonder if lawyers wrote the catechism? Looks like it to me.
    So would this mean more or less analogies from Spider Man?

    Seriously, reading this does give a sense of the weight of the calling, and the need for prayer. I’m glad you’re not too proud to say so. Have a great week.
