A Good Sermon Quote
May 26th, 2005 · Posted in Church Humor · 0 CommentsLast week I (and others) blogged about preaching — giving our opinions on the question of whether we should preach to believers or non believers. I really liked the response I got from Rev. Mike :
The answer is that we trust the text, preach it, and then when the Spirit speaks, he speaks to whomever he speaks.
Anyway — I came across a great quote about sermons this morning. I found it on Andrew Careaga’s Bloggedy Blog. He had seen it on Richard Hall’s blog — connexions.
Here’s the quote:
“A sermon should be like a woman’s skirt: short enough to arouse one’s interest, but long enough to cover the subject.â€
Somehow I don’t think my Homeletics professors at Columbia Theological Seminary would have put it quite that way — but I like it!
Until next time — Peace! Bill
