Effective
Preaching Defined.....
"You must root your preaching in reality,
remembering that the people before you have problems, doubts, fears and
anxieties gnawing at their faith. Your problem and mine is to get behind
the conventional fronts that sit row upon row in the pews, consider for
example, the needs of the people who will come to hear you preach.
Use your imagination as you try to deal with
problems that are most real to them. If, when you write your sermons, you
can see the gleaming knuckles of a clenched fist, the lip that is bitten
to keep back tears, the troubled heart that is suffering because it cannot
forgive, the spirit that has no joy because it has no love, if you can see
the big tears that run down a mother's face, if you can see these things,
preach them. Preach them--and get down deep."
Peter Marshall, 1902-1949, former Chaplain of the U.S. Senate,
speaking to young ministers at the Gettysburg Theological Seminary.
