Decisional Preaching

In His sovereignty, God mysteriously has ordained that what we do and don’t do when we preach in some way affects whether or not people decide for the truth. He has assigned us certain responsibilities as preachers that when carried out faithfully seem to foster spiritual decision-making. The supernatural power of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit somehow work in partnership with certain rhetorical principles of persuasion to create a decisional emphasis in the preaching event.So, let’s explore this issue of decisional preaching, because people don’t ooze into the kingdom of God, nor do they ooze into obedience. They decide for both. And we need to give them a chance to do so.
