Why Johnny can't preach

I'm not a preacher, but I love preaching (faith comes by hearing after all!). Nothing stirs my soul more than Christ-centered preaching done well. Kevin DeYoung is a preacher and he's been blogging on T. David Gordon's book Why Johnny Can't Preach. Gordon believes that the average Christian in the average church -- including evangelical and Reformed churches -- typically will not hear a Sunday sermon that could even be called mediocre. DeYoung summarizes Gordon's negative case in part 1 and gives some practical advice in part 2.
