Credible Preachers...

So what makes a Preacher credible? Well, the ones who seem to get it are the ones who preach in front of large audiences or pastor 'mega' churches. Then there are those who are world famous or know world famous people and may even minister to the world famous. If they are famous, it could have come from writing a popular book that sold millions. There are also those who are quite educated. We like to hear those who know what they are talking about and can prove it. A good education can do this for a preacher. But I like the ones God esteems:

"For this is what the high and lofty One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." (Isaiah 57:15)
