Preaching
I believe the most effective preachers in the future will be those who fuse the head and the heart in their preaching.
If you preach mostly to the head of your audience, start thinking about what connects with the heart.
Information alone doesn’t bring about transformation. Preaching to the head can lead to a changed mind, but not a changed life.
If you preach mostly to the heart of your audience, start thinking about what connects with the mind.
Preaching only to the heart creates emotional followers, whose faith rises and falls with their feelings.
The goal, of course, is to love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. Carey Nieuwhof
