The Great Neglect
To engage in mercy ministry is good. But to neglect the intentional proclamation of the gospel is to affirm that man can indeed live on bread alone. If you give yourself a year in persevering through the difficulty of open air preaching you will realize what commandment you have been neglecting all along.


Good doxology ought to follow from sound theology. A proper appreciation of God's glory inspires awe, which in turn motivates action. Telling others when we see something wonderful is ingrained in us. People who claim to know God but could not bring themselves to share him with others demonstrate that no beauty in Christ was ever seen, and as a result, no glory for God is desired. Doxology is then reduced to lip service rather than action because theology was either improperly taught or improperly comprehended.
