When the Word Seems to Return Void

Are we to assume, based upon outward appearance, that our words of grace have returned void in the lives of those around us? And then, having recognized the ineffectiveness of preaching only Christ, should we craft a message or pursue an agenda that will produce better results? Dissatisfaction and disappointment in how God works behind the scenes is the trap that has ensnared many who now preach their messages of condemnation.

Random Shovelquote: The Advice of God? (view all shovelquotes)

there is no advice in this world – even if it comes from a Bible verse or a preacher’s sermon – that can produce God’s work within you. Oh, it might make you appear more spiritually productive, but the working of God doesn’t come from the practical side of the grave … but from the living side that has risen past it. When I tell you that Christ is your life, I’m telling you about the one and only present-tense reality that causes you to live as one who is truly alive in this world. source
