Scripture

…Be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:16

Observation
Preaching should heat up nonbelievers. Speaking to unchurched people about Jesus is more than laying out information. When an evangelist speaks Jesus and invites people to him he is laying his hearers on the altar before God for him to warm up their hearts to say yes to him.

Evangelistic preaching is priestly act of worship. The preacher is placing lost people on the grill and God will bring the fire.

Application
I want my preaching to put people in the hottest. I want my speaking to warm up hearts toward God and bring them home.

Prayer
Father, I want more than words, I want heat in the words I speak. You have used me before, but please use me again more than I have been used before. Amen.
