The introduction is the first and best chance to win the attention of people who otherwise would not care. The first thing you have to do is make people believe that what you have to say is relevant and important.

We all tend to go to extremes some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no either/or here it is always both/and. These two things must go together.

The ultimate cause of spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief, even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be.

If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin.

Image
You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do.

You are either a Christian or you are not a Christian you cannot be partly a Christian. You are either dead or alive you are either born or not born.
