As a follower of Christ, you must learn the art of handling criticism. No matter what you do, they’ll come. People will craft stories about you merely to defame your name and the Jesus you profess. But the good news is that those people didn’t call you; God did.
Preach what God teaches you, not what you think. Your preaching will be devoid of any mix of heresy when you refuse to mix it with your own philosophies and ideologies. Jesus is enough. Preach Him!
Whether you’re an ordained pastor or a servant in the Lord’s house, reaching out to others with the message of Christ is your responsibility. You have been given the message of reconciliation to live as an ambassador of Christ (see 2 Corinthians 5:18-20).
