« More from Out of Ur and expository preaching.. | Main | Mel Gibson.....and my own little Hollywood rant. »

short thought...

I have received some good comments, as well as reading some good comments online regarding the posts by Out of Ur on expository preaching.

I can't write anything lengthy today because budgets are due at our church, and I'm spending all my time doing that right now.

But, let me say this. I am for a varied approach to preaching. I don't think Out of Ur is against "expository preaching", but rather, is expousing a more varied approach, or that there are other methods then only that one.

Sometimes preaching needs to be more narrative. Sometimes it needs to be more expository. Sometimes it needs to be more dialogical.

When I am in a room counseling clients, I don't just use one theoretical approach, but rather I use a combination of theories and approaches because people and families and contexts are complex. Churches and congregations and saints and sinners are complex as well. And to fully proclaim the gospel we must be multi-faceted in our approach. "I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some." I Cor. 9:22b.
