Know your theology and preach your Bible

Preach the Bible well, so that people can see not only what to believe, but how to derive that belief from the pages of Scripture.

We are living in a generation where there is an increasing biblical and theological illiteracy, so as preachers we have a responsibility to really know the important doctrines of the faith. 



And as preachers we have the responsibility of preaching the Bible so that listeners will know where that doctrine comes from and how to get it.



Here is a quote from Spurgeon’s Lectures to My Students that seems appropriate:



Be well instructed in theology, and do not regard the sneers of those who rail at it because they are ignorant of it.  Many preachers are not theologians, and hence the mistakes which they make.  It cannot do any hurt to the most lively evangelist to be also a sound theologian, and it may often be the means of saving him from gross blunders.  Nowadays, we hear men tear a single sentence of Scripture from its connection, and cry “Eureka! Eureka!” as if they had found a new truth; and yet they have not discovered a diamond, but a piece of broken glass. . . . Let us be thoroughly well acquainted with the great doctrines of the Word of God.



Know your theology, and preach the Bible well so that people can see not only what to believe, but how to derive that belief from the pages of Scripture. 



There are two potential challenges in this:



One is ignorance of sound theology. The other is adherence to a system of theology not firmly rooted in the Bible. 



Let us preach to counter the increasing biblical and theological illiteracy, and let’s do it demonstrating healthy handling of the text!



Peter Mead is mentor at Cor Deo and author of several books. He blogs at Biblical Preaching.
