"Preaching is an Assault"

At Christ Lutheran Acadamey's 2007 Pre-Lenten Retreat, the keynote speaker was Pastor Peter Berg. His paper was very helpful - some good ruminations on Lutheran preaching. For a teaser, here were his section headings:

• Preaching is not a Bible Class; It's an Assault
• It's all about Jesus, Stupid!
• In Spite of what the Defectors are saying, the Law/Gospel Nexus Must be Maintained
• Don't Be Afraid to Say, 'You'
• It's No Laughing Matter
• Children, Don't Try This at Home

You can find the full text of the keynote in various formats, as well as some other good stuff, at Christ Lutheran Acadamey's website, under the Resource page.
