A True Preacher of the Word

In Jeremiah 23:22 he records, "But if they had stood in my counsel, and had
caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from
their evil way, and from the evil of their doings."
Jeremiah is describing the qualifications of a true
prophet/preacher. Earlier in the text he states that these prophets are
preaching peace and prosperity (like many tv preachers today), but God is
not behind their words. A true preacher is one who causes God's people to
hear (like the sermons of Jonathan Edwards and John Piper--these men have a
passion and skill that "causes" people to listen, which results in true
repentance and a change in their actions.
