I remember he said, "The whole aim of preaching is to be understood." If we are not understood, we are just speaking in tongues to our people. Ah yes good ole Dr Stone.

Tell me about it. I think that good preaching is content + communication. Both are skills that can be taught and learnt. Anointing - how do you tell? 10 people tell you it is good sermon rather than the usual 1? You feel on fire (and no,it is not the extra spicy nasi lemak you had for breakfast). You feel good after preaching? People are seating on the edge of their chairs? How do you tell? My better experiences of preaching was when I was relaxed and at ease with the people. Dr. Stone's 3 point landing is still the way to go. Over the years, scripture is becoming more and more of a treasure trove. So much depth. I agree with you - I am grateful to be able to preach God's Word. Amen. Ecstasy and agony. Tell me about it. I think that good preaching is content + communication.
