How to Preach God's word and keep people awake. Two preachers look at the practical issues of getting to the heart of the biblical text, controlling content so you say what you mean to say, and delivering sermons in a way that keeps people awake. Many books on preaching are published every year; this one is a 'must'. - DA Carson
The art of biblical interpretation: A covenant book
- John McClean •
- 14 August 2015
In the ancient world, a covenant established a relationship of solidarity and loyalty. It was based on solemn promises, sealed with signs, and often regulated by a covenant document (the book of Deuteronomy is the fullest example in the Bible). The covenant document came from the lord of the covenant, stating who he was and how the relationship with his people had been established, and giving the conditions of the relationship.

It’s a word that drives just about any pastor to despair (although not necessarily because he sees it in his own heart and life). The word? Consumerism.

I love personality tests. That’s not surprising, because people with my personality type enjoy self-analysis. My husband, on the other hand, dislikes personality tests.

Let me tell you about the Ninjas. It started at a Trellis and Vine Workshop Marty Sweeney and I were running in an old weather-board Baptist church in Atlanta, Georgia. We’d been invited there by a young black pastor (whose presence in Atlanta was a remarkable story in itself),

Home groups start off as a bunch of strangers gathering together to read the Bible, but the hope is that they will grow to be more. Our ideal home groups are places where people care for one another, they are open and honest with each other and they do
