Preaching Discussions regarding preaching of the Word

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.

The Fad Driven Church

Here's is a link to an excellent article by Phil Johnson (a message delivered at a Shepherd's Conference back in 2005) where he points to the effects of evangelicalism's fascination with the latest "church fads" and how this has left the church woefully equipped to deal with attacks against the faith (e.g., justification controversies, the emergent church, etc.). He directs us to the power of the preaching of God's word.

It's a lengthy article, but well worth the read. I blog about it here.
