Emphasis Preaching Journal
Two hundred years ago, people...
Illustration
Two hundred years ago, people defined preaching as sixty minutes to raise the dead. One
hundred years ago, preaching was declared 45 minutes to raise the dead. Fifty years ago,
it was calculated as thirty minutes to raise the dead. In the twenty-first century, it's fifteen
minutes to raise the dead. If we didn't have evidence to the contrary, we'd conclude that
people are less spiritually dead now than 200 years ago.
