So the power is in the text and the truth of the text. But that chapter is so interesting because you can identify as you go through it things that you’re familiar with today, like plagiarism and dreams and inventing your own message.
He even talks about the fact that there’s adultery, there’s a tolerance for evil. There are pastors who don’t want to confront. In fact, in that chapter, the Lord says, you have become like Sodom and Gomorrah.
That’s powerful in our day because there is an escalating tolerance of homosexuality in the evangelical movement today. All predicated on the idea that the power of ministry is in the style of the preacher.
