Preaching standards

The purpose of this book is to give the pastor who still believes in old-fashioned standards for godly living something he can put in the hands of his old and new members that will reinforce his preaching. Hopefully, these pages biblically answer many of the objections pastors receive concerning their preaching. - Introduction. Dr. Mike Allison thoughtfully examines biblical admonitions, legalism, Christian liberty, personal conviction by the Holy Spirit, three types of Old Testament laws, modesty and the blessings found in obedience. With a compassionate heart, he courageously opens the truth of God's Word to demonstrate clearly that standards are not to be rejected, but rather, embraced. Standards protect us from traps of Satan and help us to apply other biblical principles. Herein the preacher will find help for declaring "all the counsel of God" boldly, without apology, without compromise. - Back cover of 2012 ed.
