Think About IT: Shallow Preaching Reveals a Deeper Problem

The problem of shallow preaching in the pulpit is not the problem. The problem is in the study. The pulpit is a mere reflection of either the depth or lack thereof of what happens in the pastor’s study; for if a man is shallow in his study, he will most assuredly be shallow in his preaching because no man can preach deeper than he has studied. Conversely, if a man studies deeply, it will necessarily be obvious in his preaching for he cannot desire to know and walk deeply with God and desire any less for his flock.
