Feeding the Sheep or Entertaining the Goats

The great task of all faithful preachers is to win souls to the Lord Jesus Christ, to so preach as to move people to surrender to the Lord Jesus. The great temptation of our day for preachers is to ‘pack the pews’ rather than to get people saved. We must beware of entertaining the goats, when we should be transforming them into sheep and feeding them.
