The Archer And The Arrow is a new book authored by Phillip Jensen and Paul Grimmond, published by Matthias Media.
The subject of the book is ‘Preaching The Very Words Of God’.
Here’s a quote to whet your appetite.
If God guaranteed you that he would visit your church this Sunday, and bring a message to the congregation, direct from his won lips, speaking his life-changing truth to the spiritual needs of all, would you think about cutting one or two songs, and giving God some extra time? Would you ask the drama team to postpone their 20-minute re-enactment of the Prodigal Son? Would you feel the need, if you were the minister, to put aside some time after God had spoken to tell some stories that made the divine message a bit more real and relevant to the people?
If God did turn up in all his blazing glory to deliver a message to your church, what would your reaction be? Hopefully you would scrap everything, fall trembling on your knees, and say, “Speak, Lord, your servants are listening”.
The truth is, of course, that God is with us whenever we gather, and he speaks his very words to us. Whenever we open God’s Scriptures and read his words, he is with us and he speaks. And yet by our actions – by the way we run our meetings, and by the way we preach – we often demonstrate that we don’t really believe in the transforming power of his words.

Oh dear.
I’m sure that there’ll be some balancing out of this in the book. This is the bait. Right? Otherwise we’ll all just be left with reading out great big slabs of scripture, in greek and hebrew.
More quotes to follow.
And I’m sure you’re aware of Jensen’s preaching and that which is similar.
There is a persisting criticism that Sydney evangelical preaching is an exegetical talk lacking application.
This book, I assume, is pitched at a wider market than us and there is surprisingly little scripture read in some churches and talks that do not attempt to open up Scripture as their basis.
Yes. I owe him a great deal. His preaching is full of application and insight.
