This is my challenge for you today my young friends. Free yourself from the slavery of peer pressure, fight on as a warrior of Christ, and dare to be different in such a way that you radically stand out as a witness for Christ.
In his new book, Willimon also dares preachers to be bold and speak about the God who speaks to humans through Jesus Christ in a world in which sermons too often become hackneyed conventional wisdom or tame common sense.
Using fresh biblical insights, creativity, and pointed humor, Willimon draws upon his decades of preaching, as well as his many books on the practice of homiletics, to present a bold theology of preaching. Emphasizing preaching as a distinctively theological endeavor that begins with and is enabled by God, he argues that God speaks, preachers dare to speak the speech of God, and the church dares to listen. By moving from the biblical text to the contemporary context, preachers dare to speak up for God so that God might speak today.
If the people of Nain hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't have been able to believe that the young man was restored to life! The evidence of evil seems so obvious. As mentioned in the opening of this piece, no one in the current discussion group has dared question the obviousness of evil. It's hard for many even to consider the fact that good is supreme-- without equal or competition.
