It concerns me when truth and testimony seem to be separate. For instance:
There are some Christians that are very strong on the truth issues relating to Jesus – who He is and what He’s done. They are passionately committed to the truth and will not compromise on it.
There are some Christians who have a strong peronal relationship with Jesus. Their testimony is sweet and intimate and personal. They have a deep sense of the love of God and communion with Him.
My concern is that I see too many Christians who have one, but not the other. Strong on truth and standing for what is biblical orthodoxy. Or strong on testimony and shaky on biblical orthodoxy. Surely the Bible is inviting us and urging us to fully grasp both?
As a preacher, do you tend to pronounce truth, but never really offer the invitation for the more personal and intimate walk with the Lord (assuming that will be there)? Or do you tend to make Christianity so winsome, but without the infrastructure of truth in place?
Let’s be sure that we are not imbalanced ourselves, but hold firmly to both of these aspects of the gospel . . . and then be sure to present both.
Biblical Preaching 
Well said! And unfortunately I fear you are right on the money. I agree that we need to have a balance of both truth and connection in order to be on a solid Christian foundation.
This is so true. God wants us to know about Him and to know Him. It reminds me of the children of Israel when God asked them to come and meet Him at the mount. Instead, they send Moses to go and hear God on their behalf. And hence, the bible says, Moses knew His ways, and the children of Israel knew His acts. TRUTH is God, and ACTS is our testimony of Him. We need both to balance our faith.
