If we follow the pattern set forth by Paul, we must preach all Scripture to all people, because all Scripture is profitable. It is easy to contrast Paul with many in the pulpit today who never rebuke sin except at a distance. Modern preachers are holding back profitable words of exhortation for fear that they might be unpopular with the members of the congregation. In the true apostolic method of evangelizing a community, and edifying a congregation, diligent work from house to house was on a par with that in the pulpit. Such is not the case in many of our congregations today.
People expect pulpit preaching alone to produce miracle growth.
If we are going to stress a restoration of N.T. Christianity in the 20th century then we must restore the spirit of New Testament evangelism. Brothers and sisters, spread the glad news. Don't hold back anything profitable and teach both publicly and privately. The Greatest AID that David Lemmons or Anyone Else Can Give Comes from the Bible.
