As I’ve said in sermons, we really don’t want people to remember us for our worst failures. So we should not do that to Jesus’ disciple Thomas, who believed far more than he doubted. I liked this cartoon, by Josh Harris, on the subject.

I enjoyed this post from Tim Challies on doctrine and expository preaching.
Along the same lines, here’s a quotation of Mark Dever from his book, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church (p. 40):
“It shouldn’t surprise you to hear that sound, expositional preaching is often the fountainhead of growth in a church. Let a good expositional ministry be established and watch what happens. Forget what the experts say. Watch hungry people have their lives transformed as the living God speaks to them through the power of His Word.”
