Paul Harvey For anyone interested, an announcement from History News Network: Join Thomas Kidd, author of God of Liberty: A Religious History of the American Revolution for a live Q&A on HNN’s Ning Network at 3 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, October 13.

It’s a simple statement, but some preachers probably need to ponder it. With the good motivation of seeking to be pastorally relevant, some preachers short-change the preaching of the text. It certainly saves time if you merely summarise or refer to the text, but don’t bother with any extended explanation, or any retelling of the narratives, or any extended description to help the listeners enter into the world of the text.
