“And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” This is a magnificent description of a faithful, thorough, and effective ministry. Keeping nothing back is working systematically through scripture without skipping the difficult parts. Preaching of this kind is both public and private, to every man one encounters regardless of nationality or status in life. It keeps in mind at all times the message of the gospel, and encourages the hearer to turn from sin and embrace Christ. Sounds like Paul did a fairly good job! Men of God today should model their ministries on such an example. Instead, some look to polls, trends, fads, or gimmicks. I hope this is not our legacy of outreach. How sad it would be to have the outline for success spelled out, and yet miss it by wrapping ourselves in the methodology of the world. Let’s hold to the book, proclaim it everywhere we go, to anyone we meet, in faithfulness to its message and the Lord who delivered it. If we do, we can tell a similar story (with confidence) at the end of it all.
