I attended a one day preaching seminar this past week at The Cove in Asheville, NC featuring Dr. Haddon Robinson of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Dr. Robinson said, "When you get up to preach people might already be a little bored and they have a hunch you're going to make matters worse!"
We all laughed, but then Dr. Robinson went on to say something really challenging and really convicting: "To bore people with the Bible is to destroy life and hope."
O, how desperate we pastors are for the enabling grace of God as we prepare and preach!
