Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.It’s a Bible “intended to give pastors the means to a Bible-based preaching ministry, and to provide pastors everywhere the ability to preach through the entire Bible and apply rock-solid principles to their congregations” being put out by the “Second Billion Network,” featuring:
Sermons from the greatest expositors of all time
Sermons from all 1,189 chapters in the Bible
Sermon contributions from pastors worldwide to bring a vibrant multi-cultural awareness
Systematic approach for preaching through the entire Bible
Tools to build Biblically-sound messages on a weekly basis
Weekly sermon updates to help with societal transformation
Online availability worldwide
Search functions by contributor, topic and scripture reference
Ten years of expository messages in manuscript form from every chapter of the Bible
Templates of biblical exposition to help pastors for the rest of their ministry lives.
~This is nothing more than the Study Bible concept taken to the next logical level.
~Interpretational guidance is very useful.
~If you use commentaries and other people’s sermons, why is this a problem?
~Surely this is a much better idea than simply trying to put the Bible’s language into some ultra-modern context like a Living, Amplified, or Message Bible, right? At least here you have the distinction between source and interpretation.
~Exposing people to a wide variety of preaching styles is excellent preparation for finding their own voice in delivering the Word to their people.
~It’s the basic flaw of teaching preparation. You mostly have the 30-50 teachers you’ve experienced to draw on, instead of having a few hundred and excellent ones at that. What if all teachers had to sit in on a class taught by the top 100 teachers in the country? That’s pretty much what this is.
~It’s exciting because the Bible can be so difficult to comprehend, and this will put people in possession of the wisdom of many people who have spent decades seeking to better understand what the Scriptures mean.
