Transcript

Alright, thank you very much and hello again, radio friends. How in the world are you? Everything going all right at your house? Well, I trust everything’s okay at your house and I just want to assure you right now that before I begin these broadcasts, I pray so earnestly that God the Holy Spirit may speak a word of love and encouragement to your heart. May that be so today. Look with me then at Romans 14 verse 19, “Let us,” said he, “pursue the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.”

Let’s look at that phrase “things wherewith one may edify another.” The word “edify” is a Greek word “oikodomês” which means to build up like you build a house. Look for ways to build the other person’s life. This is an important concept. It’s true for parents. My father used to say to me, “It’d be far easier for me to say yes to you, my boy instead of to say no but I’m responsible to God for you. I have to build your life.” How often he would say that to me. “I have to build your life, my boy.”

Well, that’s true, then of parents and children, certainly. It’s true of pastors and people. The pastor is not simply the boss of the church nor indeed the slave or servant of the church. He is the one, who, under God, is to build up his people in the faith. Pastor, said Paul in Ephesians 4, are given to the church for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry. A successful pastor will be building his people up so they can minister to others. It ought to be possible for your deacons and your elders and your trustees and your Sunday school teachers to pray as effectively with a hurting soul as you do, preacher. That’s your goal.
