Emphasis Preaching Journal

An organizer for our adult Bible study class was deeply perturbed at the low turnout. Each Sunday he would exhort the congregation about the importance of Bible study and how every true Christian like himself should attend class to learn more about the Word of God. The more he exhorted, the less people came. Still he pressed on for months with very little results. Finally, in a volcanic eruption of uncontrollable anger he let loose on the congregation about their lack of faith in Christ. After his fierce diatribe, he was approached by a parishioner.
