Quote from Rick Warren on Twitter: Preaching is all about bridging THEN (interpretation) & NOW (application). The bridge is the Timeless Principle. Study Rom.15:4

Excellent post! This does not sound like the young man I knew 6-7 years ago. I see teaching as primarily intellectual while preaching is primarily emotional. However, any teaching that does not involve the emotions is DRY – DRY – DRY! And, any preaching that does not involve some educational elements is just fluff and trite clichés.

In secular education, St Augustine is often considered to be somewhat the “father” of modern education. One of the concepts of modern educational psychology points to Augustine. It is not a direct quote but a summary of some of his ideas… “All learning is the result of conflict.” Do you agree? How does this concept play in your view?

Jonathan Edwards was known for his very unemotional speaking style, reading his manuscripts, however it is reported he filled the altars. Gipsy Smith virtually the same…move England. As a 'God called pastor'…I feel strong anointing while teaching and watching the reaction of hearers as they absorb. My church up-bringing is in the South (N.C.) however my first 18 years were in the Pacific North West. I know the emotional preacher well, and up until a few years past have not heard a strong teacher. Billy Sunday Meyers was a strong teacher in N.C. with emotion, but great content while James Poe Jackson was the emotional preacher that God used in a mighty way which I witnessed many times. Scripture says that a pastor must be a teacher. A strong job..as “Telling is not teaching, and listening is not learning”…and the Pastor needs much patience with the flock in the teaching end…they often desire the emotional preaching that is like gas on the fire rather than a dry oak log that lasts all night in the fireplace. Just thoughts.

#chiefshep KSHawes03 says “proclamation is more emotional and energetic, while teaching has a more conversational tone” http://bit.ly/4Ags5n This comment was originally posted on Twitter
