Reformed Experiential Preaching

Reformed Experiential Preaching 
by Joel Beeke

 

9 Points:

  1. Tests genuine experience by the standard of biblical truth idealistically, realistically, optimistically.
  2. Draws lines distinguishing between believers and unbelievers.
  3. Makes frequent and wise application of truth to life.
  4. Balances biblical, doctrinal, experiential and practical elements.
  5. Cultivate a life of communion with our God and Savior.
  6. Builds experience upon the foundation of Holy Scripture, God’s Word.
  7. Goes beyond contemporary superficiality into the deep wisdom of old paths.
  8. Offers food to satisfy the new spiritual sense of the believers’ souls.
  9. Touches the heart with a bitterness of sin and the sweetness of grace.
 
Reformed Experiential Preaching applies the truth of God to the hearts of people to show how things ought to go, and do go, and ultimately will go in the Christian experience, with respect to God, and his neighbors (i.e. family, church, world around him).
 
Reformed experiential preacher receives God’s Word into his heart and then preaches it to the minds, the hearts and the lives of his hearers.
 
Note 1: Head-knowledge of God is not useless but necessary. We need to know the truth.
 
Note 2: We don’t change people by our experiences as preachers. Holy Spirit alone changes people.
 
Every revival throughout church history begins in the hearts of preachers, who were set aflame with the truth of God’s Word and preached it with passion and conviction; then the Holy Spirit who prepared that minister’s heart, use that minister, then other ministers, and then other ministers got impacted, and use those ministers to bring from heart to heart to the people, and brought waves of revival.
 
The act of preaching is a living bond (connection) between preacher and hearers. The bond that you cannot leave your church is that there are hungry people who want to be fed and grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Quotes 名言

王明道:“今日許多人不是被魔鬼打倒,而是被嚇倒了。”

約翰衛斯理:“給我一百個除了罪惡別無所懼,除了神別無所慕的講道人,不管他們是正式的傳道人或是平信徒,他們將要震動地獄之門,在地上建立天國。”

唐崇榮:”當我們低頭的時候,我要嚴肅地問:’有哪一個說我要以身作則,用生活高舉耶穌基督,讓基督居首位,無論上下,使很多人受我的影響,使人心歸於上帝。這樣的人把手舉起來。'”​

奧古斯丁 Augustine:“如果我說的不合聖經,請離開我,回到聖經去。”

選摘自:呂沛淵《傳到地極 – 記念趙中輝牧師:獻我一生》
人生只有兩大問題:「主啊,你是誰?」與「主啊, 你要我做什麼?」這是保羅在往大馬色的路上,蒙主光照後所問的兩個問題。簡言之,就是「生命」(誰是我生命的主宰)與「使命」(什麼是主差遣我去做的)。有「生命」而無「使命」,則是浪費生命;有「使命」而不遵行,則是抗命。 ​
