How preaching, is like antibiotics

To begin with, antibiotics are administered when someone has an infection and antibiotics come in several different strengths and verities.

Therefore if the person is given the wrong strength or the wrong kind of antibiotic, it is ineffective and the persons infection gets worse.
--------------------------------------------------
Well today, most of the population of the world, has a “Spiritual infection” called “willful sin” and they need a spiritual antibiotic.
This is where preaching comes in.

But not all preaching, is the same.

➀ Strong, solid(Biblical) preaching, hits this infection between the eyes and will soon knock it out.

➁ But, weak, shallow(praise type) preaching, does little to help this problem.
--------------------------------------------------
Also, small doses of any kind of preaching, won’t get rid of this infection, but will make it stronger.
Just as small doses of actual antibiotics, will cause an infection to become immune to that antibiotic; So also does weak preaching, cause people to become “Gospel hard”.

Most of today’s preaching, simply causes people to become intrenched in their sin.
Just as the Word of God warned us it would........
2 Timothy 4:2-4
V.2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
V.3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
V.4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

I can say this so confidently, because (at least in most of the USA), there is a Church on almost every corner & a Gospel radio station within everyone’s reach, yet our country(and the world), continues to be falling into more & more Spiritual darkness.

If even half of today’s preaching was solid Bible preaching, than our world would be different.
--------------------------------------------------
Also the text at the end of the OP, prophecies that in the last days, most preaching won’t be Biblical.

 

Hi Jkdbuck76

You asked..........

That is the million dollar question, isn’t it.

But the last time I even hinted(here at the BB), that professing Christians could have unconfessed sin in their life, I was quickly slapped down and accused of preaching easy believism.
I suggest you answer this question for yourself.

Certainly the unsaved have a problem with “willful sin”, therefore the point I was making is obvious.
