Darryl Dash is enjoying Zack Eswine’s The Imperfect Pastor as well.
In a post that also features pointers from Haddon Robinson and Brian Chapell, Dash provides these three questions that Eswine commends preachers to ask of the text they are studying:
- What does this passage show me about the loveliness of God? Or, put another way, what is it about God in this passage that calls for my love for him?
- What does this passage show me about people and about what love requires of me on their behalf?
- As one who has been shown mercy and love from God, what empowerment from him do I need to overcome my obstacles to love? What about the love of God in Jesus gives me hope and provision for my own lovelessness?
