EXPLANATION VS. APPLICATION
PREACHING & TEACHING

Factoid: Rick Warren … gives wise advice for preachers when he says, “Tell them why; show them how. Most modern churchgoers require both explanation and application…. The ratio could be 50/50, maybe 60/40, but it rarely ought go beyond a 70/30 distribution.”
