Bases of the Preaching Marcos A. Toyens

The contemporary evangelical church faces serious difficulties. All their leaders are aware of this and they try different diagnoses and answers for it. It occurs to me that the current situation is similar to the tragic fate of Samson, to whom the Spirit of God had left him, and he did not realize it. As solutions are sought in human and pragmatic techniques, the patient aggravates their condition. The only correct answer is that this vanishing life be breathed in, as at the beginning of creation, by the Word of God. The spiritual life of the church and of ourselves depends on listening to and responding to the Word of God. And for this to happen, Scripture must take the central and authoritative position in the life of the church.
