A Cautionary Tale from Michael Jackson's Father

Do you preach for the feet or the heart?

Even so, "Joseph Jackson" preaching won't cut it. The Joseph Jacksons of the pulpit get to the people's feet but not their hearts. Such preaching is too low. "Joseph Jackson" preaching won't change the people in your church.

You have folks in your church who want to change. You've got little Michael Jacksons in your church who long to change. You've got a single mother who longs to change. You've got a greedy couple whose hearts cry, Abba Father. But all they get is Joseph Jackson. What will bring change is not a legalistic, Joseph Jackson approach to the Scriptures, but rather an approach to the Scriptures that is so lofty and lifts up God so high that along the way it gets to the heart.

This is a great thought but you never finished the thought.Like you aid there is a place for being holy but people need to know why they need to be holy and that their pastor loves them. God chastises those he loves,So as Pastors they need to know that we care for their soul
