How is it that so much preaching seems to fall on deaf ears?
How is it that ministers find it so difficult to guide the members of
their churches into more Christ-honoring lifestyles? Why are communities
affected so minimally by Christians in their midst – aren’t
we to become salt and light?
There are, of course, many explanations for the phenomenon
just mentioned; in this editorial I wish to mention just one. But
when I say “just” one, that is not to indicate that it isn’t a very
important factor. Indeed, it is. Perhaps it would rank second or
third on any serious list of failings, if not first. At any rate, the factor
I have in mind seems to be inseparably connected with the
ministry of the church in the New Testament period. And, it
seems, it was the factor that makes all the difference...
