"Can we all just get along?E Pluribus Unum: “Out of many, one.” This motto is emblazoned on the Great Seal of the United States, but it could be the church’s model, too. Unfortunately, the daily experience of many Christians and churches feels like the opposite: out of one, many.

"... gentle reader, I point my finger at you—“Behold, the restless one!” But of
course, three fingers are pointing back at me. Some people argue, rightly, that we
live in a sex-saturated culture, and that this makes obedience in sexual matters a

the potential to complicate the simplicity of preaching and obscure God's
message. Students who raise this question are quick to point out that Paul
himself denounced the human artifice of Greek rhetoric. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
shared their suspicion. He considered books with titles like The Craft of Sermon
Construction or The Craft of Sermon Illustration to be ..."
