"If Christians cannot communicate as thinking beings, they are reduced to encountering one another only at the shallow level of gossip and small talk. Hence the perhaps peculiarly modern problem - the loneliness of the thinking Christian." - Harry Blamires, The Christian Mind

Good Point. Wrong Text!
Peter Bogert at Stronger Church reminds preachers of the importance of attending to a biblical author's intent by paying close attention to a passage's literary context. Failure to do so results in sermons that lack textual authority and congregations who follow the poor example of biblical interpretation modeled from the pulpit. Read this even if you're not a preacher. [HT: Transforming Sermons]
