Pastors, does your preaching follow in the tradition of the apostles, whose preaching "turned the world upside down?" Or has God used your mediocre preaching to bring people to faith in Christ and to build up the saints - in spite of its significant weaknesses? The Word of the living God is not boring. It is only poor preachers who make it seem so. The issue is not God's power to bless, but your power to harm!
In Preaching According to the Holy Spirit, Jay Adams sets forth the Holy Spirit's concerns about preaching by studying our models - the apostolic preachers in the New Testament. He shows how you might say the right thing with the right words in the right manner at the right time. This book will help you to "do your best to present yourself to God tried and true, a workman who won't be ashamed, cutting the Word of truth with accuracy" so that on the last day you will hear "Well done, you good and faithful servant."
Jay E. Adams
For over 40 years Dr. Jay Adams has been calling God’s people back from their dalliance with unbiblical psychological theory to a renewed confidence in the power of the Holy Spirit and the sufficiency of God’s Word to equip the man of God to help his people with problems of living and relationship. Happily, many have heeded his call and over the years a movement, both deep and wide, has developed, consisting of pastors and other Christian workers who have been trained in and are practicing the kind of truly biblical counseling God intended for His people to receive. Jay Edward Adams was born in Baltimore on January 30, 1929 and was born again about 15 years later in response to the reading of a New Testament that was given to him by a friend. He received his formal training at Reformed Episcopal Seminary (B.D.), Johns Hopkins University (A.B.), Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary, Temple University School of Theology (M.ST.), and the University of Missouri (Ph.D.). He pastored churches in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, served as a denominational official, a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, the director of the Doctoral program at Westminster Theological Seminary in California, and then as a church planting pastor in South Carolina. He was also the founder of the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation in Philadelphia, the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors, and Timeless Texts which now publishes his books. In 1999 Dr. Adams retired from the pastorate of the church he had planted in South Carolina and has devoted his time to writing and lecturing. In the fall of 2001 the Redeemer Biblical Counseling Training Institute (RBCTI) was established at the Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Moore, SC to provide a vehicle by which Dr. Adams could continue teaching.
