Dave McClellan on Preaching by Ear
“…A preacher can preach from notes or manuscripts, or they can draw upon something more internal that has been composed in the soul. I found that when I spoke about content that I had internalized and was very close to my heart, I felt more natural and comfortable and communicated better as well. But I also found that my literary homiletic background didn’t prepare me to “preach by ear.” I was taught to prepare sermons on paper and in private, and I didn’t realize there were any other options. Lately I’ve been exploring a more oral approach to preparation and

By Max StrangeBiblical Theological Study Center 1/19/2011 Beginning to Study the Whole Purpose of God A Christo-Presuppositional Approach to the Entire Scriptures Guiding Principles: Find the preliminary meaning of the text as it was understood by the original recipients.

We begin to take note of the themes, repetitions, allusions, genre, and typology. This involves exegesis and the historical-grammatico method Immediate context is vital;
How my preaching of the Old Testament has changed
Oh how I can resonate with the following quote: When I first started preaching 14 years ago, most of my sermons showed a severe disregard for the Old Testament. And even when I crafted a message from one of those books, I was not trying to see the passage post-Easter. I handled the Old Testament as if Jesus hadn’t come.Don’t read the Old Testament pretending Jesus didn’t happen. After Jesus died and rose from the dead, his disciples saw the ancient promises differently. Those promises were no longer suspended in mid-air but became yes in Jesus. The types had found their antitype,

Good Article: Molinism 101
“In recent months and years, an old controversy about the nature of God’s knowledge has been re-ignited in certain Christian circles. The doctrine at the center of this controversy is called “middle knowledge” (also known as Molinism). In an effort to better understand the issues at stake, I found the following introduction to the subject by Dr. Paul Helm very helpful.
