Partaking or Peddling?

It is my firm belief that as a minister of the gospel, I should live a life that is full of partaking in the glorious riches of the grace of God so that I am so engulfed in passion that I can do nothing but herald the beauty and all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ.

It is so easy to fall into the temptation of peddling Christ and preaching a message that I sometimes fail to delight in. May my love for Christ always be the driving force behind my proclamation.

"Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men.... For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again" (2 Corinthians 5: 11a, 14-15 NIV).
