“The apostle Paul was convinced that preaching had a unique ability to accomplish spiritually what no other form of communication could do. That is why he wrote to the church of Rome, ‘I am eager to preach the good news to you also who are in Rome.’ Don’t miss the obvious here. Paul wrote this verse as part of inspired Scripture — a truly effective form of spiritual communication if there ever was one. Yet, according to the apostle Paul, preaching has an ability to communicate truth that cannot be replaced — even by holy writ! There is no substitute for the incarnational power of a real person speaking God’s word to read people” (Edwards, Deep Preaching, p. 40).
