There should be a limit to what a preacher says about his past life especially while preaching. When a preacher says "back in the days, I slept around with my mother's mates" "I used to be a serial fornicator and rapist" "I was a murderer and a burglar " etc Really? And you're proud of such acts? I think that clearly is the height of ecclesiastical insensitivity. Such unguarded statements has the tendency of poking unhealed wounds in the hearts of some of your listeners , opening you up to temptations and easily making you a victim of extended hatred. You're called to be a healer, not a killer. 113 Likes 7 Shares |

seyi360: Kobojunkie:Whats your problem? Why are you so ever truculent, hmm? The guy OP, is talking about try to be sensitive whenever drawing up past escapades because they might be people in the audience still trying to deal with the past of theirs they aren't proud of and so shoved to the remotest part of their mind so not to relive or remember it and you've gone gung ho asking him, if its wrong for followers of Jesus Christ to admit they too had a sin-fillled past like every one else. How you managed to overlook or ignore the intro "There should be a limit to what a preacher says about his past life especially while preaching..." is baffling. Limit, fyi, means boundary(ies) 93 Likes 1 Share |

seyi360: Kobojunkie:"All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify." - 1 Corinthians 10:23 Not every publicly shared sinful past is good or OK for congregational consumption. Maybe privately, you can tell about it, as of when its appropriate, well judged and suitable to do so 40 Likes 3 Shares |

Talking about ones past may be beneficial and may be destructive . The testifier is supposed to comunicate such only when its necessary. It is only needed why dealing with issue of self condemnation and Gods grace to forgive and cleansed. And should such old life should not be glorified in the testimony. Eg . " we used to enjoy those days" 41 Likes 2 Shares |

2 Corinthians 7:2 [2]Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. Rather than dwelling on his notorious past as a persecutor of Christians to impress ,the great Apostle Paul talked more about his regenerated new self and focused on the things before him. In fact, in the scripture above, he denied his wayward past. 8 Likes 1 Share |

seyi360:Dont mind the chap, he pokes his nose in almost all threads looking for where to punch holes in them. Nobody takes pleasure or glory in narrating their past. I remember the last time I did, it was uncomfortable even starting, that I had to put out a disclaimer ahead before starting, saying I am not proud of what I did, when I was rotten in the world, but hey so, so and so happened, ob la di, ob la da 13 Likes |

Many a times, some Pastors overpreach. Superfluity, when they are to preach from Wisdom Knowledge and Understanding of God's WORDS. 2 Likes |

It clearly means nobody is holy. He’s not proud of his past. Only admitting that no one is beyond sin and it’s not too late for anyone to turn a new leaf. As it’s always said, lead by example. 5 Likes 1 Share |

It is clear most people who create threads in this section are just church goers and not true Christians. If you still worry about these things then you need the preaching yourself. 11 Likes 1 Share |
