Preach the Word

"And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee." "Preach the preaching that I bid thee," is the Lord's command to every preacher. "Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears." "And tell them, Thus saith the Lord God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear." Eze. 3 : 10, 11. "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom, Preach the word." 2 Tim. 4 : 1, 2. That which the Lord says, is the only thing that is right. It may not always be the most pleasant thing to speak, nor the most pleasant thing for men to hear, but it is the best thing to speak, and it is the best thing for men to hear.
