Helping preachers to proclaim, and all Christians to hear, the transforming Word of God
All Christians would agree that what is most needed in the present age is a loosing of the power of God among us, but what is often forgotten is that the proclamation of His word has always been God's chosen channel of power.

Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may be able to determine what God's will is -- what is proper, pleasing, and perfect. - Rom. 12:2

Linking to a given site doesn't mean I necessarily agree with everything it says. And since this is a blog, not a sermon, I'm not being fastidious about qualifying every post. If you're a preacher of the Word, you ought to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. If you want to see what I believe and preach, go to my sermons page:

Romans 1:16; the Word of God and its preaching has inherent power; the power of God. It empowers the Spirit-filled living of God's word. That is when the Kingdom of God comes to earth. Thanks for the reminder Milton. Great quote!
Thanks for your comments, Jon. Peace.
Listen, I agree with this - but too many times we think that the SIMPLE reading of God's Word, or preaching of it, is ALL we need. Yet, this is NOT what we see in scripture, is it? We actually see some sort of moving or evidence of the Holy Spirit - the POWER BEHIND the preached Word... I think it is true that God's Word is THE foundation - but it is just that - a "foundation." If ALL we do is read God's Word, we will get nourished - but we may not really encounter the powerful presence of the Lord in life-transforming ways... it is not either/or - it is plus/and.
Good points, Dan.
Amen, SF.
