ARCHITECT OR MUDDLER?

This morning I picked up again the book “Your preaching …… a force or a farce?” by John Deane. Chapter four is called “Architect or muddler?”

To remember what we are going to preach and hear – sermons – is so important, not only for the preacher, but especially for the hearer, the listener.

Sermons preached by an ARCHITECT – who has an effective arrangement – are easy to remember.

Sermons preached by a MUDDLER – who is quoting Bible verses from Genesis (first book of the Bible) to Revelation (last book of the Bible), if he is given enough time – are difficult to remember.

Muddlers need to read books on preaching, or even better, attend a Bible College, where they teach homiletics, the art of preaching or writing sermons.
