Scars can be powerful preaching aids, but open wounds rarely are.

We are totally vulnerable before him, whether we know it or not, he knows us. 

For years I sat and heard messages that seemed to be targeted at someone else (and often that someone else was not there). What a wasted opportunity.

Here are some favourites that preachers sometimes find themselves repeating.

Morning always comes. We live in darkness, but we live with hope. And our hope is God Himself.

We should take the angst we feel about crowns and rewards and then let that energy drive us into the Bible to explore what God is like. 

Is there a Bible school where you could take a single course? Diligently hunt the best books to read, as well as well-informed people to engage with in conversation.

We need to be people who guard hearts in the church environment.  Good music and good preaching is not enough.

We are to forgive first, then either we can bear with, or we need to approach and proactively address the situation.

Too many gospel presentations offer only a ticket to heaven when you die. And too many Christians are walking around with hope of comfort tied exclusively to that end of life anticipation.

Don’t let your homiletical skill get ahead of biblical and theological awareness. People will praise a public speaker, but they need a preacher who is biblically and theologically healthy.
