The preeminent place of preaching

At Unashamed Workman Colin Adams has begun making the case for the priority of preaching:

We’ve all heard the criticisms. From the subtle jibe, “the preacher went on a bit this morning” (which persists no matter how short the sermon gets) to the blatant diatrabe, “preaching is an outdated form of communication.” It seems that despite all the advances in 21st century education, attention spans are shorter than ever. Moreover, in an image conscious culture people cannot deal with an onslaught of words.

Apparently. But this blog - and an increasing number of evangelicals - takes a different view. We believe on the basis of Scripture that there remains a place for preaching. A pre-eminent place.

Amen. Part two of "The Case for Preaching" is scheduled for Friday at Unashamed Workman.
