Go Look For A Clown Then...

“HE IS BORING!!!”

Yikes! How can one actually make such a statement? Well, you can but then... Sigh... It is your opinion anyway.

Well, I don’t know whether I am suppose to post this or not but whatever it is, I have already posted.

On the 20th April, which was two Sundays ago, Pastor John Beh was preaching in Grace Klang Youth Church. He was preaching about the Joshua Generation which can be summed up with, “The Joshua generations are people who obey God.” Apparently, there were a few youths who were dead bored by Pastor John’s preaching and they voiced out their complain to someone (not to be named) and new traveled (gossip ya know...). Then it reached to my ears and I was kind of furious actually, honestly speaking. I didn’t believe someone would actually complain about such a thing.

So here I am voicing out in this blog for all to read.

Right from the day I met Pastor John until today I have come to understand the way Pastor John preaches his sermons. He doesn’t coat the cake with honey and beautiful icing with berries on top and serve it on your lap.
His preaching may be hard to grasp at times but this is the whole idea! If you are really serious in wanting to know what he shares, you will pay your utmost attention and will write down notes. Then go home and read them through hand pray to God for a revelation.

Jesus speaks in parables so that it is easy for the hungry to understand but hard for the crowd with desperate heart to understand. It is either you get it what he shares or you work your way through to find out what he means. Gone are the days when preachers preach sweet sermons mixed with sugar, spice and everything nice. Gone are the days when preachers preach what the crowd wants to hear. This is the day when God’s Word pierces the hearts of all listeners and convicts them with spiritual truths. This is the day when people will start to hear what they don’t like but need to hear.

Pastor John’s messages are full of spiritual truths. How can you eat solid food when you need people to feed you with only MILK?!

How can the church grow if we were to preach the same old message again and again? We need to go deep into the Word of God, not the surface. The longer you stay on the surface the longer you will stay a baby. Be a Christian diver who goes deep into the ocean of the Word of God.

I don’t remember anywhere in the Bible Jesus preaching with jokes. If you want to find a preacher with lots of jokes up his sleeves, Pastor John Beh is the wrong candidate. He preaches with the Holy Spirit.

Go look for a clown.

Hebrews 5:12
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s Word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
(The exclamation mark was in the Bible. This shows how frustrated the writer was when he wrote it.)

Hebrews 6:1
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to spiritual; maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that leads to death and of faith in God.

Colossians 2:6-7
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

This man rocks!
