Some pastors complete their theological education and assume they have learned all that they need to know.
Others understand that their formal training had only given them tools for a lifetime of learning.
In time, it becomes apparent who kept learning and who didn’t.
A sermon is not a lecture. It is not absorbing trivia. It is a heart-shaking assault on darkness and the very gates of hell, trumpeted forth so that sinners tremble and saints quake in wonder.
for while BODILY TRAINING IS OF SOME VALUE, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. — 1 Timothy 4:8
Lost 50 pounds doing keto this last year. 🙏🏼😤🙌🏼
Pastor, the beauty of expository preaching is that you don’t have to craft a “politically charged” sermon — the Bible already speaks directly to every issue we face.
“And if you, O man, want to know who God is, do not ask the wise, the Scribes, the disputers of this age, but look upon Christ and hear His word!”
- Herman Bavinck
Together again in glory. 🕊️
Thankful for John MacArthur and his ministry. I know RC is happy to see him again.
They are in the presence of the Savior they faithfully preached.
