It is necessary to gain the right kind of confidence in the Word of God and in preaching.

We are confident in preaching because it is the voice of Christ speaking to his church.

We must see ourselves and our role correctly in this great work – namely, as faithful servants.

How we handle the intersection of the spiritual antithesis, on the one hand, and the influences of God’s common grace in the unregenerate, on the other, will therefore have profound implications not only for our relationships to non-Christians, but also for our reflection on Scripture and its application in the practice of ministry.
