The Bible is an inspired book of infinite power! Nevertheless, powerless Preachers deliver boring sermons to sleepy congregations every single week of the year. How can it be? The finger of God points to the Seminary downtown.
"Too many dead men in pulpits giving out dead sermons to too many dead people. Oh! The horror of it. There is a strange thing I have seen “under the sun,” even in the fundamentalist circles; it is preaching without unction." - Leonard Ravenhill
Rest assured that the problem isn't with the Word of God! The Preachers are to blame. God will not countenance their finely crafted messages. The average Seminarians of today force themselves - in the flesh! - to pick up the Book of God and preach it to people without any personal experience of its power and glory (Heb. 6:4-5). This is hypocrisy.
The world looks on with wonder at a cold and dry religion. Irreligious men and women are deeply offended (Lk. 17:1-2)! Howbeit, the spiritual reality of things is much more disturbing than they realize (Acts 20:26). Crimson stains of bloody murder cover the graduation robes of Scholars and Seminarians in America! Souls are perishing. Through formal training in an academic environment Preachers have become strong and fearless intellectuals who adulterate the Word of God.

"And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in DEMONSTRATION of THE SPIRIT and of POWER: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in THE POWER OF GOD." - 1 Cor. 2:3-5
As blind leaders of the blind, these professional Preachers can't see what they are missing. They have forfeited what Paul gained through weakness, fear, and trembling before God. What? THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT & THE POWER OF GOD! A dreadful blindness is upon them and they don't even realize it. They are oblivious to THE POWER OF GOD contained in the smallest punctuation mark of Holy Scripture.
"And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the Law to fail." - Luke 16:17
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled." - Matt. 5:18
There is more power in one dot of an “i” in the Bible, than the seemingly inexhaustible power of all the stars in the galaxy. It would be easier for the earth, sky, space, and galaxy of our world to dissolve into nothing and suddenly disappear, than for one stroke of a “t” in the Bible to fail.
Billionaires should stop looking to the stars for glory and immortality! Instead, they should humble themselves before God and begin reading the Bible. Meanwhile, everyone else should stop believing in the filthy dreams of billionaires! Nobody’s rocket will usher in a new age for humanity. No! There is no hope for mankind on the hellish Red Planet called Mars.

You are going to have to look beyond the stars. For, there is One who is higher than the heavens! He, even He, publishes peace to condemned sinners through the Cross of Jesus Christ. Therefore, all men everywhere should repent and believe the Gospel.
"For thus saith the High and lofty One that inhabiteth Eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the High and Holy Place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." - Isaiah 57:15
