The World Is Our Pulpit

Lutherstadt-Wittenberg, Germany

This is the pulpit from the City Church (Stadtkirche) in Wittenberg. Though Luther is buried in the Castle Church he preached most of his sermons in the City Church and this was the pulpit from which he delivered the Word of God.

Where's your pulpit? Where is that place where you find yourself declaring the great things God has done for you in Jesus? Though Luther might have preached most of his sermons from this pulpit it was not the only platform he used to proclaim Christ.

"And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them." Act 16:10 English Standard Version

The best place to begin preaching Christ is right where we are now. We don't have to travel around this nation, fly overseas or find some obscure tribe of people to proclaim Jesus as Lord. Our best pulpit is placed among our loved ones, friends and coworkers.

Sometime God may call us to "Macedonia" but until then, by our lives and in our words, we declare Jesus to be Lord.

In this sense, the world is our pulpit.
