Perhaps the most seldom used title in the Bible for the minister is \u201cPreacher.\u201d\u00a0 It translates the noun form of the word kerux<\/em> (kerux) which means \u201ca herald.\u201d\u00a0 Though the English word \u201cPreacher\u201d appears four times, one time (Rom 10:14) is actually a verb, and another (2 Pet 2:5) refers to Noah, an Old Testament character.\u00a0 So the title \u201cPreacher,\u201d referring to the New Testament minister is only used by the Apostle Paul to describe himself.\u00a0 Once in 1 Timothy 2:7 and again in 2 Timothy 1:11, Paul says that God ordained him to be a preacher.<\/p>\n The job of a herald was a duty-oriented job.\u00a0 He was employed by a king to announce what the king gave him.\u00a0 He could not alter the announcement to fit his own whims.\u00a0 It was the message of the king and it must be delivered exactly as it was given.\u00a0 The herald was not a Groucho Marx who used to say, \u201cThose are my principles!\u00a0 And if you don\u2019t like them . . . . well, I have others.\u201d\u00a0 No, these were the king\u2019s principles.<\/p>\n The disciples were often asked to perform tasks like a herald.\u00a0 All four gospels include the story of the triumphal entry when Jesus commanded two of His disciples to go into Jerusalem and untie someone else\u2019s donkey and bring it to Jesus.\u00a0 If the owner asked why they were taking his donkey, they were to reply with the exact words of Jesus: \u201dthe Master has need of them.\u201d\u00a0 Mark records that the two disciples said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go<\/em> (Mark 11:6).\u00a0 The king\u2019s words would be the authority for the herald\u2019s words.\u00a0\u00a0 Similarly, in Acts chapter nine, Ananias was commanded to go to Saul, put his hands on him, call him \u201cbrother,\u201d and say that Jesus had send him.\u00a0 The words of Jesus would be enough to overcome Ananias\u2019s fear of the former persecutor.\u00a0 He found it to be so.\u00a0 Heralds are not merely witnesses who tell what they have seen.\u00a0 Neither are they instructors who elaborate on the material being presented.\u00a0 They are more like stewards who are responsible for what has been placed in their hands.<\/p>\n Though the word kerux<\/em> (kerux) appears only three times as a proper noun (\u201cpreacher\u201d), it appears a number of times as the action (\u201dpreaching\u201d) and sometimes as the message (\u201cthe thing preached\u201d). \u00a0Kittel\u2019s Theological dictionary devotes 35 pages to its definition.\u00a0 There are some clear observations concerning a herald:\u00a0 1) Every king had one.\u00a0 It was his ordained means of getting a message to the people.\u00a0 2) They were untouchable.\u00a0 If someone attacked the messenger, he would suffer punishment as if he had attacked the king himself.\u00a0 3) They were sworn to exactness.\u00a0 Gerhard Friedrich, writing the article in Kittel\u2019s, says, \u201cIt is demanded then, that they deliver their message as it is given to them.\u00a0 The essential point about the report which they give is that it does not originate with them.\u00a0 Behind it stands a higher power.\u00a0 The herald does not express his own views.\u00a0 He is the spokesman for his master.\u201d[i]<\/a><\/p>\n According to Kittel\u2019s, the Greeks recognized three heralds:\u00a0 1) Hermes was the interpreter of the gods.\u00a0 In Lystra (Acts 14), Paul was called Hermes (Mercurius) because he was the chief speaker<\/em> (vs 12).\u00a0 2) Birds were considered messengers of the gods, especially the rooster who announced the new day and various watches of the night.\u00a0 3) The philosophers were considered heralds and called \u201cmessengers\u201d with the word angelos<\/em> (angelos). This is why the New Testament pastors can be called \u201cangels\u201d and it was understood as heralds.\u00a0 Paul wrote to the Galatians, you received me as an angel of God<\/em> (Gal 4:14).\u00a0 In Revelation 2-3, Christ gives His message to the \u201cangels\u201d of the churches and when they deliver the message, the Holy Spirit applies it to whomever has ears to hear.<\/p>\n In the book of 2 Timothy, Paul uses all three forms of the word \u201cHerald.\u201d\u00a0 In 1:11 he writes of the kerux<\/em> (kerux), the preacher, messenger.\u00a0 In 4:2 he writes of the keruso<\/em> (kerusso), the preaching, or messages.\u00a0 Then in 4:17 he talks of the kerygma<\/em> (kerygma), the thing preached, the subject of the message itself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2 Tim. 1:11 <\/strong>Whereunto I am appointed a preacher<\/span>, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.<\/em><\/p>\n The apostle Paul tells Timothy that he was \u201cappointed\u201d to this high office by the Lord.\u00a0 This is the word Jesus used when He said to Paul, I have set<\/span> thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth<\/em> (Acts 13:47).\u00a0 Again, Paul says, But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust<\/span> with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts<\/em> (2 Thes 2:4).<\/p>\n First<\/strong>, God\u2019s herald doesn\u2019t have to be a great man, but he does have to be a man of God.<\/span> Paul again says to Timothy, But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness<\/em> (1 Tim 6:11).\u00a0 I don\u2019t believe great men ever wanted to be great, they just wanted to be men of God and God used them in great ways.\u00a0 One problem today in our ministerial schools is that we are teaching young men to want to be great men without first being men of God.\u00a0 Vance Havner wrote, \u201cWhat our forefathers were without knowing it, we want to know without being it.\u201d[ii]<\/a> Savonarola said, \u201cIn the primitive church the chalices were of wood and the prelates were of gold; today the prelates are of wood and the chalices are of gold.\u201d[iii]<\/a><\/p>\n A tourist group, visiting birth-places of famous people, passed through a European village. One of the tourists asked a local man standing on a corner, \u201cWere there any famous leaders born in this village?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cNo,\u201d the man replied, \u201cJust babies.\u201d\u00a0 Sometimes young people want the things of greatness without paying the price of greatness.\u00a0 John Bunyan was born into a tinker\u2019s home\u2014one of the lowest status occupations of the time.\u00a0 But Bunyan became a man of God and a powerful preacher.\u00a0 Armitage tells that, \u201cJohn Owen heard him preach, probably at Zoar Chapel, and when King Charles expressed wonder that a man of his [Owen\u2019s] learning could bear to listen to the \u2018prate\u2019 of a tinker, he answered, that he would gladly give all his learning for this tinker\u2019s power.\u201d[iv]<\/a> Bunyan titled his autobiography, \u201cGrace Abounding To The Chief Of Sinners.\u201d\u00a0 If more of us would desire to be known as the Chief of Sinners, rather than the Chief Executive Officer, we might have more power with God.<\/p>\n George Whitefield cried, \u201cO, grant I may, like a pure crystal, transmit all the light Thou pourest over me, and never claim as my own what is thy sole property\u201d[v]<\/a> J. Vernon McGee tells about G.Campbell Morgan\u2019s call to the ministry:<\/p>\n \u201cDr (G. Campbell) Morgan tells how he wrestled with this problem of calling.\u00a0 He was a school teacher when he was called as a minister.\u00a0 It was a very solemn moment for him.\u00a0 He felt that the Lord was saying to him, \u2018You have been set apart definitely for the ministry of the Word.\u00a0 Now do you want to be a great preacher or do you want to be my servant?\u2019\u00a0 The first thought that Dr. Morgan had was, \u2018I want to be a great preacher.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That ought to be a wonderful ambition, but after a while the Lord began to press it in upon him, \u2018Do you want to be a great preacher, or do you want to be my servant?\u2019\u00a0 Finally Dr. Morgan came to it.\u00a0 He saw that he had to make a choice.\u00a0 Finally he said, \u2018Oh blessed Lord, I would rather be Thy servant than anything else.\u2019\u201d[vi]<\/a><\/p>\n Second<\/strong>, God\u2019s herald must have the mind of Christ, not the mind of the world.<\/span> Paul was insistent on this qualification for a minister of Christ.\u00a0 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.<\/em> (2 Tim. 1:7 ) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God<\/em>; (2 Cor. 3:5 ) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ<\/em>. (1 Cor 2:16)\u00a0 It was Demas who had the mind of the world.\u00a0 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; <\/em>(2 Tim 4:10).\u00a0 God\u2019s heralds cannot be as Jannes and Jambres, men of corrupt minds<\/em> (2 Tim 3:8).\u00a0 Friedrich says, \u201cHeralds adopt the mind of those who commission them, and act with the plenipotentiary [full power] authority of their masters.\u00a0 It is with this authority that the kerux<\/em> (kerux) conducts diplomatic business.\u201d[vii]<\/a><\/p>\n Our authority as preachers of the gospel comes from the Spirit of God within us!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us <\/em>(2 Tim 1:14).\u00a0 R.C. Sproul wrote, \u201cWe can be skilled preachers without the Spirit.\u00a0 We can be theological geniuses after the flesh.\u00a0 We can be silver-tongued orators apart from grace.\u00a0 But the only source of the fruit of the Spirit is the work of the Holy Spirit within us.\u201d[viii]<\/a> Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, \u201cTo me there is nothing more terrible for a preacher than to be in the pulpit alone, without the conscious smile of God.\u201d[ix]<\/a><\/p>\n John describes the preacher with the worldly mind contrasted with the preacher with the mind of Christ:\u00a0 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.\u00a0 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us.\u00a0 Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error<\/em> (1 John 4:5-6).\u00a0 Too many of God\u2019s ministers are busy winning themselves to the world rather than winning the world to Christ.\u00a0 It is because they have the mind of the world.<\/p>\n Old A.C. Dixon helped formulate the \u201cFundamentals\u201d that gave us our name at the turn of the last century.\u00a0 He had pastured both Spurgeon\u2019s Tabernacle and Moody Memorial Church.\u00a0 He writes,<\/p>\n \u201cEvery preacher is, or ought to be, a prophet of God who preaches as God bids him without regard to results.\u00a0 When he becomes conscious of the fact that he is a leader in his church or denomination, he has reached a crisis in his ministry.\u00a0 Shall he be a prophet of God or a leader of men?\u00a0 If he decides only to be a prophet insofar as he can without losing his leadership, he becomes a diplomat and ceases to be a prophet at all.\u00a0 If he decides to maintain his leadership at all costs he may easily fall to the level of a politician who pulls the wires to gain or hold a position.\u00a0 He who would prophesy or speak forth the message of God is careful of none of these things but only that he shall speak the message that God gives him, even though he be in a lonesome minority.\u201d[x]<\/a><\/p>\n George Liddell, who helped compile the famous Liddell and Scott Lexicon, wrote,<\/p>\n \u201cGive me a man of God\u2014one man, whose faith is master of his mind, and I will right all wrongs and bless the name of all mankind.<\/p>\n Give me a man of God\u2014one man, whose tongue is touched with heaven\u2019s fire, and I will flame the darkest hearts with high resolve and clean desire.<\/p>\n Give me a man of God\u2014one man, one mighty prophet of the Lord, and I will give you peace on earth, bought with a prayer and not a sword.<\/p>\n Give me a man of God\u2014one man, true to the vision that he sees, and I will build your broken shrines and bring the nations to their knees.\u201d[xi]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2 Tim. 4:2 <\/strong>Preach<\/span> the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.<\/em><\/p>\n Here Paul exhorts Timothy to action!\u00a0 Now he is to pay attention to the way in which the message goes forth.\u00a0 \u201cHerald the Word\u201d\u00a0 This is the way in which the prophets of old delivered their message.\u00a0 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins<\/em>. (Isa 58:1).\u00a0 Paul wrote, We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak<\/em>; (2 Cor 4:13).\u00a0 This is one methodology that cannot be changed or amended!<\/p>\n First<\/strong>, the urgency of the situation requires it<\/span>.\u00a0 Here our word for \u201cherald\u201d is not only a verb of action, but is in the imperative.\u00a0 It is a command to preachers of the gospel.\u00a0 \u201cBe instant\u201d Paul says.\u00a0 The kerux<\/em> (kerux) is always ready with the kerusso <\/em>(kerusso).\u00a0 Charles Finney was invited to preach for an entire summer at Five Points in Lower Manhattan by Lewis Tappan.\u00a0 Finney questioned whether they would receive him in such a sinful place.\u00a0 Tappan replied, \u201cA place admirably located for the destruction of souls is equally well located for conceiving them.\u201d[xii]<\/a> Finney preached that summer to about 2000 people a night in the Chatham Garden Theater.\u00a0 Finney describes his method of delivering the message as a herald:<\/p>\n \u201cYou breast yourself to the work like a giant.\u00a0 You open the attack with Jupiter\u2019s thunderbolt.\u00a0 You take the doctrine for a damning fact\u2014declare you know it\u2014raise your voice\u2014lift high your hand\u2014bend forward your trunk\u2014fasten your staring eyes upon the auditors\u2014declare that they know it to be God\u2019s truth; that they stand upon the brink of hell\u2019s gaping pit of fire and brimstone . . . unless they repent forthwith.\u201d[xiii]<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Paul reminded the Corinthians, For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ<\/em>. (2 Cor 2:17).<\/p>\n Second<\/strong>, The message of the King guides it<\/span>.\u00a0 It must be \u201cthe Word\u201d which the herald proclaims.\u00a0 When we decide to change it to fit the situation, we have betrayed our King.\u00a0 D.L. Moody said, \u201cWhen a minister or a messenger of Christ begins to change the message because he thinks it is not exactly what it ought to be, and thinks he is wiser than God, God just dismisses that man.\u201d[xiv]<\/a><\/p>\n By now we all recognize that this is a postmodern society.\u00a0 We are finding it more and more difficult to speak the message of our King in a straightforward manner.\u00a0 Our audience has a hard time accepting anything without a \u201chermeneutic of suspicion.\u201d\u00a0 They can say one thing and do another.\u00a0 They can say one thing and believe another.\u00a0 They can even say one thing and intend another, and they believe all of us are using language and media the same way!\u00a0 Benjamin Woolley, a postmodern writer, said, \u201cArtificial reality is the authentic postmodern condition, and virtual reality its definitive technological expression . . . . The artificial is the authentic.\u201d[xv]<\/a> Millard Erickson describes our difficulty in this way:<\/p>\n \u201cI have a T-shirt that I bought from the American Philosophical Association, of which I am a member.\u00a0 On the front is printed the following: \u2018The sentence on the back of this shirt is false.\u2019\u00a0 On the back, however, this appears:\u00a0 \u2018The sentence on the front of this shirt is true.\u2019\u00a0 Now it may be possible to believe either the front or the back of the shirt, or to believe both, but at different times.\u00a0 It is not psychologically possible to believe both at the same time, and in the same respect.\u00a0 It simply cannot be done, while retaining one\u2019s sanity.\u201d[xvi]<\/a><\/p>\n As ministers of Christ, and as heralds of the gospel, we must not let our preaching fall to such a low estate.\u00a0 Paul said, But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay . . . . For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God<\/em> (2 Cor 1:18, 20).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2 Tim. 4:16 through 2 Tim. 4:17 <\/strong>At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 17<\/sup>Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching<\/span> might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion<\/em>.<\/p>\n Here Paul admonishes Timothy to guard the message that is preached.\u00a0 This form of the word is our English word \u201ckerygma\u201d (kerygma).\u00a0 Webster\u2019s dictionary to this day still defines this word as \u201cThe apostolic preaching that Jesus is the Christ.\u201d\u00a0 In the great resurrection chapter of First Corinthians 15, Paul uses this form and the verb form:\u00a0 Now if Christ be preached <\/em>(kerusso, kerusso) that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?\u00a0 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching (kerygma, <\/em> kerygma) vain, and your faith is also vain<\/em> (1 Cor 15:12-14).\u00a0 You can have all the action and commotion in the world, but if you\u2019ve lost the content, it is in vain.<\/p>\n Today we play with symbolism over substance to our detriment.\u00a0 We are worshiping worship as a substitute for a real Holy Spirit experience.\u00a0 We have faith in faith rather than the faith once for all delivered to the saints.\u00a0 We have a kerux<\/em> (kerux) who is busy with the kerusso<\/em> (kerusso), but we are quickly losing the most important thing\u2014the kerygma<\/em> (kerygma)!\u00a0 Two things are certain from this final chapter of Paul\u2019s life.<\/p>\n First<\/strong>, When you stand by the truth, the Lord will stand by you<\/span>!\u00a0 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching <\/em>(kerygma, kerygma) might be fully known<\/em> (verse 17).\u00a0 Though all his friends had forsaken him, Paul was not forsaken.\u00a0 When Paul stood at Gallio\u2019s Bema seat in Corinth, the Lord appeared and said to him Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: for I am with thee<\/em> (Acts 18:9-10).\u00a0 When he stood before Herod\u2019s Bema seat in Caesarea, the Lord appeared and said to him, Be of good cheer Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome<\/em> (Acts 23:11).\u00a0 Now before Caesar\u2019s Bema seat the Lord is there to deliver him from the mouth of the lion.\u00a0 But Paul was most concerned with appearing before Christ\u2019s Bema seat, Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him<\/em> (2 Cor 5:9).<\/p>\n Second<\/strong>, When you stand by the truth, the lost will know they should stand by you<\/span>.\u00a0 By the faithful proclamation of the truth, the kerygma (kerygma) might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear<\/em> (verse 17).\u00a0 There was no \u201cstealth\u201d in Paul\u2019s presentation.\u00a0 He did not coax them in with one method and then sometime down the road reveal to them what he was really all about!<\/p>\n I hope that at our church we preach the same whether the congregation is full of teens or whether it is full of seniors.\u00a0 The truth is the most effective tool for them.\u00a0 Paul wrote to Philemon and wished, That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus<\/em> (Phile 6).\u00a0 Paul knew what was effectual in the preaching of the message.\u00a0 He reminded the Corinthians,\u00a0 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? 24<\/sup>But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: 25<\/sup>And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth<\/em> (1 Cor 14:23-25).<\/p>\n The old song goes:\u00a0 \u201cTell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave; Remember I\u2019m the sinner whom Jesus came to save.\u00a0 Tell me the story always, if you would really be, in any time of trouble, a comforter to me.\u201d\u00a0 That is the need of the world!<\/p>\n Third<\/strong>, When you stand by the truth, the Lord will deliver you<\/span>.\u00a0 And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion<\/em> (vs 18).\u00a0 The Lord may deliver His saints in the way He chooses.\u00a0 It may be by life or by death.\u00a0 Either way, He will not let us be devoured by the Lion.\u00a0 Once when Vance Havner, nearing 80 years old, was speaking to ministerial students, he described his busy life and schedule.\u00a0 One student said to him, \u201cWhy, if we kept that schedule all of the time it would kill us!\u201d\u00a0 Havner replied, \u201cWho said you can\u2019t die?\u201d\u00a0 Is not heaven the greatest deliverance from the Lion?\u00a0 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death<\/em>.\u00a0 (Phil 1:20).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In his book Twice Told Tales[xvii]<\/a> Nathaniel Hawthorne writes of the Spring of 1689 and the tensions that had developed in the new country over control from England.\u00a0 It was a time when \u201cthe Puritans were all dead, and the Methodists had not been born.\u201d\u00a0 Sir Edmond Andros, the king\u2019s hand-picked governor marched his troops through the streets of Boston, slowly approaching the colonists who shrunk from the fearsome militia.\u00a0 The pastors (who were usually singled out for display as examples) stood protected by their congregants and looked piously from behind the cover.<\/p>\n The rightful governor, Simon Bradstreet, stood far away near the court house steps and gave instructions to the people not to provoke the situation.\u00a0 Many of the older men remembered when they were young and would have taken action themselves, but now they could only stand aside and hope for stronger wills.\u00a0 Just then, \u201cthe figure of an ancient man, with the eye, the face, the attitude of command appeared on the street, dressed in the old Puritan garb\u201d and began approaching the soldier\u2019s line.\u00a0 \u201cStand\u201d the older warrior-saint commanded.\u00a0 \u201cThe solemn, yet warlike peal of that voice, fit either to rule a host in the battlefield or be raised to God in prayer, was irresistible.\u00a0 At the old man\u2019s word and outstretched arm, the roll of the drum was hushed at once, and the advancing line stood still.\u201d\u00a0 With prophetic accuracy he predicted the deposing of Andros before dark and the turning of the tide of the Glorious Revolution.<\/p>\n \u201cWho was this Gray Champion?\u201d\u00a0 Hawthorne asked near the end of the story.\u00a0 \u201cI have heard that whenever the descendents of the Puritans are to show the spirit of their sires, the old man appears again.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In our Baptist movement, and in our Baptist churches, it is time for the spirit of our sires to show themselves again.\u00a0 Will Elijah\u2019s mantle fall to the ground?\u00a0 Will no Timothy\u2019s die at the hands of this world for preaching truth?\u00a0 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. . . . The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit.\u00a0 Grace be with you.
