To be a good preacher requires skill, knowledge, compassion, humor, and insight. I was not a good preacher until I entered the US Navy in 1970. Once in the Navy, I had the opportunity to listen to a variety of Christian chaplains preach. The best preachers were the Methodists and the Southern Baptists. I asked some of them to explain to me their preaching styles and how they prepared a sermon. When you read my sermons, you should be able to discover the influences that the Southern Baptists and Methodists had on me. Choose Life should show you the Southern Baptist influence. Never Again-Lam Rot HaKol should show you the Methodist influence. Enjoy and learn!
