Is This a Pulpit or a Stage?

In our modern time, often called the information age, it seems that we lack nothing in terms of knowledge. With just a few taps on a cellphone, tablet, or computer, we can find answers to nearly every question—from the simplest recipe to the most complex theology. In this environment, it is undeniable that even the preaching of God’s Word has been affected by the rapid tide of technology, entertainment, and digital amusement.

It is increasingly noticeable that some pulpits today are slowly turning into stages. The preacher resembles a performer, the message feels like a motivational script, and the goal is applause—not repentance. Some churches appear more like theaters than places of worship—designed to entertain rather than to draw souls near to Christ In the midst of this so-called information explosion—where people hunger for what is new, viral, and catchy—there is a real danger that we begin to equate the work of God with the trends and thrills of the world. But the church was not established to chase trends. The pulpit was not created to serve as a YouTube channel or a motivational platform. It is a sacred place where Christ is proclaimed—not man.
Description: Solus Christus: The Heart of True Preaching

In an age where many pulpits echo human wisdom, motivational speech, or shallow moralism, Solus Christus: The Heart of True Preaching calls the Church back to her true message—the glory of Christ alone.

This book explores the heart of biblical preaching through the lens of Reformed theology, showing that every faithful sermon must flow from and point back to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture and church history, it exposes the tragedy of a Christless pulpit and offers a vision for preaching that exalts the Savior, transforms lives, and revives the Church.

With both conviction and grace, Solus Christus challenges preachers, pastors, and believers to rediscover the centrality of Christ in every message proclaimed. It reminds us that true preaching is not about human eloquence or persuasion, but about making much of Christ—the Word made flesh, our righteousness, and our only hope of glory.

Whether you are a preacher longing for renewal, a student of the Word, or a believer hungry for gospel-centered truth, this book will deepen your understanding of what it means to proclaim and live under the lordship of Christ alone.

To preach Christ is to give life—because only in Him does the pulpit have power.
