Where have you been for the last few years!

I read a quote a while back that said, “Teaching doesn’t take place until learning takes place”. That changed my way of communicating. Since I have made application the goal of my messages, (along with my biblical teachings), my listeners have made more decisions.

When I think of the stories of revival that I’ve heard, more than once God used preachers who were known for dull (but sound) preaching! LOL! and I think of Amy Carmichael (sp?) who said that we don’t need any gimmicks~the Word of God is convicting all on its own!

I DO think we need more Bible from the pulpit and less storytelling…. (((((HUGS))))) sandi

Yes! Yes! There is very little learning unless a person is engaged with the material and presentation. One of my favorite Howard Hendricks quotes is

“If you are going to bore people, don’t bore them with the Gospel. Bore them with calculus, bore them with earth science, bore them with world history. But it is a sin to bore them with the Gospel.”

I don’t preach every weekend. I have to invest in other areas of preaching to keep myself sharp. One of the benefits of not preaching regularly is becoming an observer and a listener. I notice that it’ hard to get people to listen without them checking out along the way. I am convinced getting their attention and keeping it until the end is the most important part of delivery. Just watch the folks when you’re not preaching.

How about electric shock pews?!
