The
Preacher, The Pastor and the Theologian.
You
can be an excellent theologian but a poor preacher. You cannot be an excellent preacher but a
poor theologian. You
can be an excellent theologian but a poor pastor. You cannot be an excellent pastor but a poor
theologian.
Both
preaching and pastoring are nurtured and developed by a thorough acquaintance with
God’s word and an awareness of confessional theology. Sadly, when we focus on
producing so-called popular preachers or practical shepherds, to the neglect of
foundational theological and biblical knowledge, what we produce is a caricature
of both true preaching and faithful pastoring.
