Editorial
"Preaching
the Power of God" by Edgar
R. Lee,
S.T.D.
The essential nature of Christian preaching is more
than the sum total of exegesis, application, homiletical
form, and oratorical delivery. God himself is inherently
present in the preached Word.
Message from the President
"The Way
I See It" by Byron
D. Klaus, D.Min.

who often think it is.
