Three Steps Against Plagiarism, Plus Two More

Addicted to sermon-stealing? Try these three steps, and you’ll be writing your own sermons in no time flat!

Preach for 15-20 minutes instead of 45-60.

Preach a text, not a theme.

Write a little Bible study on the text before you preach. Ideas will come.

Know your people. Pastors on the intarnets aren’t preaching to your people.

Stop exhausting yourself planning some stupid, huge show every Sunday.

MOD: That’s five.

On February 7th, 2002, a diverse group of Christians started a wide-ranging weblog conversation. Today, that conversation continues and you're invited to pull up a chair. Welcome to the Boar's Head Tavern.

“It is better to think of church in the ale-house than to think of the ale-house in church.” - Martin Luther

Fellows
"The things I thought were so important - because of the effort I put into them - have turned out to be of small value. And the things I never thought about, the things I was never able to either to measure or to expect, were the things that mattered." --Thomas Merton
"Jesus came to raise the dead. He did not come to teach the teachable; He did not come to improve the improvable; He did not come to reform the reformable. None of those things works." --Robert Farrar Capon
