Something struck me today when travelling on the bus to Belfast, and I want to share this with you now. Why are some/many lectures so utterly boring? And why is so much preaching so dead and dull as well? This thought struck me: lecturing degenerates into a boring exercise because lecturers see it as mere presentation of facts, and no more. Some preaching is also like that therefore it is as dry as dust.
But the only thing, humanly speaking, that keeps preaching and lecturing fresh is when it is viewed as an urgent and relevant message from the living God, through the preacher, to the people to whom he is declaring the Gospel.
