THE WORD BEHIND THE WORD
WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS
ABOUT PREACHING
In John 1:1, Logos describes Christ himself — the Word made flesh. But the same word describes Scripture and sound teaching throughout the New Testament. Hebrews 4:12 says the logos of God is living and active. When the Word is preached rightly, it does not merely inform — it acts upon the hearer.
Dabar means both "word" and "thing" in Hebrew — a striking overlap. In Hebrew thought, a spoken word is not separate from the reality it describes; it carries creative force. God said, and it was. When the dabar of the Lord goes forth from a pulpit, it is not background noise. It is substance, sent to accomplish what it was sent to do.
The early church prayed for parrēsia — boldness — to preach the Word despite threat and opposition (Acts 4:29-31). True preaching has never been about being inoffensive. It is the bold, unedited proclamation of truth, delivered in love but never diluted by fear of man.
