In his book Deep Preaching (B&H), Kent Edwards writer: “The secret of ‘Deep Preaching’ is the Holy Spirit. Those preachers who allow the Holy Spirit to be their teacher are able to plumb to the depths of the ocean of God’s Word and enter into a wonderfully richer understanding of Scripture.
“Those who rely exclusively on their own exegetical expertise stay stuck on the surface of the Bible’s meaning. They bob about on the surface of the biblical text trying vainly to peer below its surface into the wonders below. As regenerate exegetes, we have an amazing intellectual resource! The Holy Spirit wants to teach us. He wants to click on His light in our minds and let us see more fully what is written on the pages of Scripture.” (Click here to learn more about the book Deep Preaching.)
