II Timothy 4:1 & 2 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ… Preach the word; be
instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke…"
Most of us have been charged with an oath at one time or another over the years. If you have been in the
military service, you have been charged with protecting your country and its constitution against all enemies,
foreign and domestic. If you have been in the field of criminal justice, you have been charged with protecting
your community and upholding its laws. If you have been married, you have been charged with loving and caring
for each other in the bounds of Holy matrimony. If you have ever had a child dedicated to God, you have been
charged with raising that child in the knowledge and respect of the Lord. And so it is with you, pastor, you have
been charged before God and the Lord Jesus Christ to do something, and that is the preaching of the Word.
Duty’s call contains a sense of urgency, in a war people die, on the streets people die, that same sense of
urgency needs to translate to our pulpits in the battle for human souls. We cannot wait or delay; we must engage
the enemy with the power of the Gospel. Duty’s call is to be fervent. If you’re ever going to be intense and heart
felt about something it should be the Gospel. Our intensity should not waver even when our cause is not popular.
Duty’s call is for the correction and the rebuking of sin. It is to help saints live more Christ like, so God’s people
will know right from wrong and His will for their life, grounded firm in His Word.
