All too often we mistake the complicated for the profound. “Simplicity is truth’s most becoming garb.”

I am a student at CU right across from PRTS…I have made friends with Dr. Gerald Bilkes at PRTS and meet with him regularly. He has told me about you…there is a topic I would crave your insight on.

I’ve bookmarked this and will return to it when I need reminder of simplicity in preaching.

This should be sent to all preachers. Such helpful and practical advice as I have to preach at times also. Thanks, David! May I have your permission to translate this into Spanish so that I may hand this out to friends I know?

And 8 hours of prep time comes on top of 18 years of preparing sermons! So my 8 hours today assumes a lot of previous study and practice. Maybe some of my hearers will read this “8 hours” and think: “Hmmm. That explains a lot.” I’m hoping to post more on sermon prep quite soon.
