Preaching vs. Worship?

Musical worship is inspiring, informative, and a wonderful privilege, but there is nothing more central to Christian worship than the preaching of God’s Word. Notice I did not say preaching is a great and necessary follow-up to worship, or that preaching is an optional extra in worship. Preaching is central to worship each Sunday.

Great article from Jeff Purswell at the Sovereign Grace Ministries blog. The last three paragraphs are particularly excellent. Go read – and I’ll write something myself soon. (Not this weekend though – it’s the CU houseparty!)

Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.
