"…That thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."
The longer that I preach, the more that I begin to understand the purpose, primacy and power of preaching. Much like a lawyer in a criminal case, the preacher of the gospel presents the evidence, gives a opening/closing statement, and then gives it to the congregation to deliberate, called an invitation, to render a verdict.

• We live by faith (Gal. 2:20)
• We walk by faith (2 Cor. 5:7)
