AND preaching is \u2018Logic on Fire\u2019 (Again from The Doctor)<\/p>\n

One of my great priviledges in life was to know a man called Henry Tyler who was one of the founding fathers of the newfrontiers group of churches of which I am a part. He would have been delighted by today.<\/p>\n

Years ago he stated to me when he was dying that Greg Haslam stood out in his preaching ability beyond anyone else in our family of churches. Martin Lloyd-Jones being a hero of Henry\u2019s he would have been delighted to see Greg Haslam take up the Westminster chapel pulpit kept warm for him so ably by R T Kendall.<\/p>\n

Anyway, todays preach the word event at Westminster Chapel<\/a> was envigorating and inspiring.<\/p>\n

Being a man of limited faith in the current state of the British church I excepted only a handful of attendees at a saturday conference on preaching. As it turned out 600 attended. There is hope for the church in the UK!<\/p>\n

Greg so eloquently stressed the importance of preaching- \u2018God only had one son and he made him a preacher!\u2019<\/p>\n

My own preaching style is perhaps vindicated by this description Greg quoted of Finney- \u2018When he opened his mouth it was like aiming a gun, when he began to speak the bombardment began!\u2019<\/p>\n

John Stott who believe it or not I had never heard in the flesh until today, spoke on \u2018The paradoxes of preaching\u2019 having made the point that it was paradoxical that a preacher should preach to preachers about preaching! I especially loved his point that preaching is about building a bridge between the bible and its culture and our own. That is kind of why I blog.<\/p>\n

He also quoted Chad Walsh who tells us to \u2018Disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed\u2019<\/p>\n

Mark Stibbes diffined the annointing as being when its easy (quoting R.T.Kendall) . Liam Goligher brought up the rear and they all stressed that the old denominational labels mean almost nothing today.<\/p>\n

It was a great conference, if you can get to London next month and are a preacher come, if you can\u2019t for goodness sake get the tapes- contact the chapel direct.<\/p>\n
