Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.35,0:01:37.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I learned that men did not learn things
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.23,0:01:38.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they heard it once.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.57,0:01:41.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If I was going to teach on a \Ncertain doctrine or certain thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.67,0:01:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would teach on it for months at a time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.74,0:01:45.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when I would finish teaching on it,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.66,0:01:47.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,exhausting everything that I know,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.64,0:01:48.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would teach on it,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.71,0:01:51.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would invite godly Peruvian pastors
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.04,0:01:52.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and godly missionaries
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.58,0:01:55.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who I felt would be a great \Nblessing to the church -
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.32,0:01:58.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would have them come and \Nteach on the same subject.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.92,0:02:01.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when the members would be walking

Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.71,0:02:04.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we'd be shaking their hands,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.30,0:02:06.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they'd look at that missionary and say,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.20,0:02:09.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"We've never heard anything \Nlike that before in our life."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.02,0:02:10.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that just goes to show you,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.53,0:02:13.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's part of the itinerant ministry.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.12,0:02:16.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What I like to do in most \Nchurches that I go to honestly,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.77,0:02:19.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when I go in,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.44,0:02:22.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm preaching almost the exact same thing
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.05,0:02:24.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most of their preachers are preaching.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.15,0:02:26.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now maybe in a different way,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.88,0:02:29.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it more confirms their \Nministry than anything else.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.50,0:02:30.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.81,0:02:33.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was asked to preach for about 3 months
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.54,0:02:37.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in a little tiny church
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.42,0:02:39.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,last year in Alabama.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.78,0:02:41.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And oh, I loved it. I loved it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.68,0:02:45.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I kind of was their interim \Npastor for 3 months.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.100,0:02:49.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And a bunch of the young \Nguys who heard me preach,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.11,0:02:50.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they came there.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.71,0:02:52.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, after about two weeks,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.11,0:02:54.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they went up to one of the \Nleaders in the church
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.48,0:02:56.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they said, "I have a question.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.88,0:02:58.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The leader said, "what?"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.59,0:03:01.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the leader happens to be \Na very good friend of mine.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.33,0:03:06.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They said, "Has Brother \NPaul changed his ministry?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.23,0:03:08.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Has he compromised?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.44,0:03:10.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Is something going on in his life?"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.60,0:03:12.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the man said, "Why?"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.84,0:03:16.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He goes, "Well, his \Npreaching is so different."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.43,0:03:18.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You see, that's because he's gone
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.68,0:03:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from this itinerant preacher mode
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.50,0:03:23.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to pastor mode -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.61,0:03:26.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to feeding sheep on a long term basis.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.47,0:03:29.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I want to warn the pastors,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.52,0:03:32.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,expository preaching - \Npreaching through a book -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.02,0:03:35.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if it's boring, you're not doing it right.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.27,0:03:36.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, how can you preach
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.83,0:03:41.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through the book of \NEphesians without zeal?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.83,0:03:45.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How can you do this without it \Nhaving an impact on people?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.29,0:03:47.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I want to look at it from both sides
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.35,0:03:49.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there are a lot \Nof pastors out there,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.69,0:03:52.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're not feeding their sheep.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.34,0:03:55.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, here's the thing \NI'd like to recommend.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.47,0:03:57.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Several years ago - many years ago -
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.31,0:03:58.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Warren Wiersbe wrote a book,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.73,0:04:00.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Walking With the Giants."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.46,0:04:02.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in there, he's got all these
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.98,0:04:05.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,short one page, \Npage-and-a-half testimonies
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.92,0:04:07.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of men and women of God
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.05,0:04:09.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that have been used down through the ages.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.13,0:04:12.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know, I kept that book \Nby my study for so long.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.09,0:04:13.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You want to know why?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.38,0:04:15.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pastor, listen to me.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.03,0:04:18.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I would get where \NI didn't want to pray -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.39,0:04:20.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just wasn't motivated to pray -
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.23,0:04:22.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'd open up that "Walking With the Giants"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.25,0:04:24.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'd read about, I don't know,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.20,0:04:25.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Praying Hyde of India
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.97,0:04:27.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or David Brainerd or something,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.68,0:04:30.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it would jar me to want to pray.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.32,0:04:32.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or, I'd sit there and it was Monday
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.55,0:04:35.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I wasn't ready to \Ntake up the next sermon
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.50,0:04:37.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for next week and I was \Njust kind of lethargic,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.84,0:04:39.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I would open up that book
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.19,0:04:40.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I'd read about Alexander MacLaren
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.97,0:04:43.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who would spend sixty hours on one sermon.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.69,0:04:45.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it would motivate me
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.10,0:04:47.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get back in that study.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.06,0:04:50.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of people are saying \Nthis because they're wrong,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.04,0:04:53.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in a lot of ways \Npeople are saying this
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.09,0:04:54.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's right.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.20,0:04:56.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Pastors are not staying in \Nthe study long enough
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.99,0:05:01.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to come out and give their \Npeople a word from God.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.09,0:05:03.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Question: There seems to be
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.17,0:05:04.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a mentality today
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.54,0:05:06.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that if you as a pastor
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.74,0:05:09.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are not invited to be one \Nof the main speakers
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.58,0:05:10.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or a keynote speaker
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.64,0:05:12.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at one of these big conferences
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.34,0:05:14.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where all the big names \Nare getting together,
