What the white church needs to learn from the black church

Three questions to ask of biblical texts - Asking these questions could save us from a lot of bad preaching.

The best sponsored post I've ever read. I own Max McLean's new book on recovering the public reading of Scripture, and it deserves to be widely read.

An MP3 of Haddon Robinson responding to some who criticize preachers for "dumbing it down" - This short recording reminds me how much I appreciate Haddon.

Hey, your "three questions to ask" link goes to Jordon Cooper's post about Black and White Churches.

Thanks, Marc. Fixed that.

Unfortunately Haddon Robinson misses the point of what most people mean when they warn against dumbing down the truth - the fear is not being too clear - instead the fear is dulling the sing and sting of the truth by watering it down.

Dave:Did you think so? I thought he did a good job of distinguishing the two, and saying that we need to be clear what we really mean when we use the phrase.
