Theology Matters, Again

Some of you guys are getting tired of hearing me say that good theology matters. But I'm going to keep saying it until you start believing it to the point that you study your Bible relentlessly and read good books (by dead guys) and wear out the pages of your systematic theology text.

In case hearing it from another source might convince you, I want to point you to one of my preaching mentors, Dr. Matt Cassidy, who played a formative role in my life in the early years of my marriage and ministry. Today on an airplane flight, while the lady next to me spilled her tomato juice all over the floor, I fired up my new iPod and listened to Matt preach a sermon from Judges called The High Cost of Low Theology. Give it a listen.

(For you discerning listeners, any similarities between my teaching style and Matt's are totally and absolutely intentional. He has been a shaping influence in the way I communicate.)

By the way, listening to preaching is a great way to make the most of your idle time (i.e. sitting in airports, driving, etc). Preachers, even bad ones, are still better than most pop music!
