I shared the Southern Baptist Founders' Conference with him a couple of years ago and he preached on some of the Five Points of Calvinism so beautifully. His task this time was to speak on expository preaching and communicating a sense of sin in the light of post-modernism. What a grim world that is. The world has no 'purpose' no 'meaning' other than what a man imposes upon himself. No theme whatsoever.
All commentary is irony.
No authoritative text to appeal to. Buddhist, I guess, more than anything else. It must come from the pit. The self is divinised, and is a devil. I subsequently felt stirred to preach with renewed confidence and tell men what good news we had.
