State your beliefs to yourself again. Get back to the foundation of the Cross of Christ, doing away with any belief not based on it.
In secular history the Cross is an infinitesimally small thing, but from the biblical perspective it is of more importance than all the empires of the world.
If we get away from dwelling on the tragedy of God on the Cross in our preaching, our preaching produces nothing. It will not transmit the energy of God to man; it may be interesting, but it will have no power.
However, when we preach the Cross, the energy of God is released. “…it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.…we preach Christ crucified…” (1 Corinthians 1:21, 23).
-O. Chambers
