The Burden of the Word of the Lord

The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.

Religion is a joke in our day, even among those who claim to be ministers and ambassadors of Christ.

A true minister finds his ministry a burden to proclaim a message which God has given him for God's people.

Why is it a burden?

1. Because it is God's word.
2. Because the message is a weighty message.
3. Because of its consequences.
4. Because the pastor must give an account.
