Don't Waste Your Pulpit

Here's a great short video from John Piper, talking about the absolute necessity to preach the word of God and not man's ideas. This would seem like common sense, but out of the dozens of churches I have attended in my life, I can count on one hand the number of pastors in those churches that actually got their message from the Bible. The grand majority know what they want to say first, and then use the Bible as backup for their ideas. There is not a subtle difference between these two paradigms.
