I do not know Chris Jordan, and I only found his blog through a great blogging brother, but check out this. Whether you are a preacher, a listener, or a doer, this list of 15 quotes on preaching should convict you.
I like that he quoted three heavy hitters in the realm of Catholic Apologetics. I’m not for myself standing in the pulpit, as I’m not a priest. However, I’ve stood on my fair share of soap boxes. The need for Christian speakers is paramount and nothing irks me more than the miss claimed quote, “preach always and when necessary use words.” The fact that St. Francis of Assisi never said this, and the fact that it makes zero sense from its connotation makes it even more of a disservice to Christian speakers and their importance.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
