Pictured on the left is one of my favorite preachers who has influenced me greatly: Dr. Jerry Vines. Wow! What a great preacher!
Question: In the year 2008, have we become so sophisticated, so knowledgeable, so technological advanced that actually "preaching" the Word of God in our churches is no longer acceptable? Well, if we listend to the pundits, we may think that preaching is no longer relevant to the younger generation, but (with my finger pointing toward the crowd) I disagree!
In Essential Church? Reclaiming a Generation of Dropouts Dr. Thom Rainer and Sam Rainer ask and answer the following question, "Is Preaching Still Important?"
"Yes! Even in today’s hyper-techno-driven conversational-wiki-culture, preaching is of the utmost importance. Of the several church-related or pastor-related issues noted by dropouts, preaching came up several times as a critical issue in retaining college students and young adults."
