No Small Matter

Posted on Wednesday, April 25, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“It is no small matter to stand up in the face of a congregation, and deliver a message of salvation or damnation, as from the living God, in the name of our Redeemer. It is no easy matter to speak so plain, that the ignorant may understand us; and so seriously that the deadest hearts …

The Key That Unlocks It All

Posted on Friday, April 20, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Not the Dinghy Behind the Ship

Posted on Thursday, April 19, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Therefore, a long exposition of facts or propositions with a short application is in conflict with the nature of the sermon. The application must not be the dinghy behind the ship. Rather, the purpose of the sermon is really in the application. The whole service of the Word centers on the edification and building up …

Posted on Thursday, April 19, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

Preaching for Two Kinds of Conversion

Posted on Wednesday, April 18, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“We should add that conversion is a continuing process; one who turns away from the world to Christ must continue to turn away from all kinds of wrong and turn to what is holy.

Making Sermons Vivid

Posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson
