Darrin Patrick Quotes
A Good Preacher, For Example, Must Be Able To Exegete Not Only The Text But Also The Culture Of The Hearers In Order To Be A Faithful And Fruitful Missionary. We Are To Bring The Gospel Through The Church To The World And Avoid Allowing The World To Influence The Church And Corrupt The Gospel. This Definition Also Hints At The Thoroughness Required In Contextualization. It Must Be Comprehensive. This Involves Examining Every Aspect Of The Text Being Preached And The Truth Being Explained Through The Eyes Of Those Who Are Listening To That Truth.17 This Is Why A Missional Pastor Should Always Preach As If There Are Unbelievers In The Crowd. He Should Never Assume That His Audience Is Comprised Only Of Those Already Convinced Of The Truth And Power Of The Gospel. We Must Literally Consider Everything We Do Through The Lens Of The Unbeliever, Always Asking The Question, "How Does This Come Across To Unbelievers?"18
