A Thought Not My Own - Doctrinal Preaching

I think this will be a new series on the blog -- good quotes that have somehow inspired me over the course of my weekly reading.  Just little tid-bits for you to think about.  Enjoy this first one:

If doctrinal preaching is deadly dull, it is because it has been excised from its living situation, labeled, laid out on the examination table, and tediously lectured on by someone trying not to fall asleep before the audience does.

I had a theology class like this in Seminary.  I firmly believe the best theology is practical theology and the best practices are ones grounded in theological truth.
