Tomorrow the revolution goes on.
…faithful preaching is always more than a mild-mannered artful description of the world and the human condition. It must also be part of a process of conversion. In order to enter this strange Kingdom of Heaven, we must be born again, and again, and again. And there is rarely any painless birth. In order for something to be born, it must die. An old world must give way for a new one to be born. People generally do not let go of their old, predictable world without a fight. So preaching without conflict is a theological impossibility.
William Willimon, Proclamation and Theology, Abingdon, pg 92.
