preaching

Dallas Willard on preaching;

• Does the gospel I preach and teach have a natural tendency to cause people who hear it to become full-time students of Jesus?
• Would those who believe it become his apprentices as a natural next step?
• What can we reasonably expect would result from people actually believing the substance of my message?

Great list. Too many "preachers" are either simply reciting Scripture or preaching a gospel the tickles the ear. I want to see people challenged and moving toward Christ as a result of the message every time I set foot in the "pulpit". Life changing power should flow in every word spoken.
