    Wisdom shared can be beneficial to most anyone in any profession! Very well said! I can think of some preachers that could/should heed your 12 commandments!

    Thank you Kelvin. As preachers there is a danger that ‘we won’t be told’. This particular blog has allowed me to refer back to basics. It is deeply reassuring to know that preaching is not the work of genius, but the work of the Holy Spirit within us. Blessings Always.

    The internet is a wonderful thing and means you can watch all kinds of things you would never have been able to see in the past. Yesterday, I found myself watching the House of Lords discuss whether or not I was fully human. At least, that’s what it felt like to me. I’m a great…
