I frequently preach Galatians 5:16 which says if we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. I talk more about what TO DO, than what NOT to do. Galatians 5 also says the works of the flesh are obvious. I don't spend a lot of time talking about obvious things. So more than preaching "against" things, I like to speak "FOR" things.
If I just yelp about what people shouldn't be doing?.....they already know they shouldn't. Doesn't do any good for me to just yelp about it. But if I can equip them with the necessary tools, such as "Walking in the Sprit", then I have the confidence that they won't be fulfilling the desires of the flesh! |
It sounds like your preaching is unbalanced compared to Paul's. Perhaps you should preach on both.
