"To know God is to know His wisdom." #thursday #thursdaythoughts

Joh Stott calls an “unchurched Christian” a “grotesque anomaly.” He adds, “The New Testament knows nothing of such a person.” He’s right.

@JoelCRosenberg He literally has had a mind snap or is so hungry for attention or the third has to do with demonic deception and I pray that is not so.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

Grateful for Pastor Mac Brunson hosting us today in Birmingham.

On this Good Friday and Easter weekend, always remember: The smoke of the Old Testament sacrifices always blows in the direction of Calvary.

Thank you, Dr. Mac Brunson, for your endorsement of my new book on preaching! “From the incredible creative and studied mind of a scholar - preacher and baseball aficionado comes one of the most engaging books on preaching you will ever read. Just as a pitcher studies the strike zone, a preacher must discern the moment; just as a batter steps into the box with courage, a preacher steps into the pulpit with conviction. Thank you, David Allen, for this gem of a preaching book.” Dr. Mac Brunson, Senior Pastor, Valleydale Church, Birmingham, AL amazon.com/Mound-Pulpit-P…

We’re in Alabama next week with some great leaders. If you’re close by come and join us. Call the local churches to register.

A morning encouragement for pastor friends: A seminary professor once said to me, “hone your craft in obscurity.” It was wise. Obscurity can be a gift. It gives an opportunity to sharpen both character and pastoral skill while out of the “limelight.”

Thank you, Dr. Brunson, for hosting this special edition of the preaching coach podcast! 👇👇

Today on the Preaching Coach Podcast - Special Guest Host Episode In today’s special guest host episode, Dr. Mac Brunson fills in for Preaching Coach Founder Dr. David Allen, talking with longtime preachers Dr. Jerry Vines and Dr. Barry McCarty. Dr. Brunson serves as senior pastor of Valleydale Church in Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. Vines served as pastor for more than 60 years and served twice as president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC); and Dr. McCarty serves as chair of the Hans Denck School of Communication at Truett McConnell University and has served the SBC in the role of chief parliamentarian for four decades as of this coming June. The group’s engaging and lighthearted discussion spans across several topics pastors will find interesting from the use of AI in sermon preparation to the development of sermon illustrations and the structure of any spoken presentation to an audience. A close walk with the Lord and time and attention given to spiritual disciplines rise to the top, they agree, in equipping a pastor to preach faithfully the inerrant Word of God.

Looking forward to being in Alabama the week after Easter. Hope to see many friends. Join us if you can!

Preaching is holding up one mirror after another in church so that everyone can see himself as he appears before the eyes of the Lord.

Coming next week in Kindle ($13) and paperback ($19.99)—Available through Amazon books! Stay tuned! 👇👇

@DrDavidLAllen He always shows up looking like hell and smelling like smoke.

You can’t put makeup on the devil.
