I am writing to all the churches to let it be known that I will gladly die for God if only you do not stand in my way... Let me be food for the wild beasts, for they are my way to God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel like my message is to let people know that God is a good God, that He's on their side, and no matter what happens, He has a great plan for them.
As a preacher, my charge is to proclaim the message of the Scriptures. To help the people in my congregation become a people of the book. I love getting to do this.
But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.
As a pastor, I have a deep desire to lead people to God and encourage people to pray, read the Bible, and carry their faith into every part of their lives.
And in that I cannot send unto you all my businesses in writing, I despatch these present bearers fully informed in all things, to whom it may please you to give faith and credence in what they shall say unto you by word of mouth.
I don't want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.
The Lord has placed next to me many people, who, with generosity and love for God and the church, have helped me and been close to me.
All of my writing is God-given.
For you see this scripture fulfilled this day and therefore I desire you as you tender the Lord and the church and commonwealth to consider and look what you do.
I come now to tell you for what I am brought here to die, and to give you an account of my faith, which I shall do as in the sight of the living God before whom I am shortly to stand.
