A masterful preacher of Scripture, a gifted author and teacher of highest order, and a gracious man who accepted my invitations to preach when I was a young pastor and in those visits greatly impacted my life and ministry.
May the Reformation for which he called come.
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

About Famine in the Land: A Passionate Call for Expository PreachingIs your congregation starving? There's a spiritual famine in the land—a shortage of faithful preaching leaving those in the pews dangerously undernourished. We need people today who will preach like the prophets and apostles did, proclaiming the word of God with courage and conviction. Famine in the Land, a compilation and adaptation of four powerful journal articles by Steven Lawson, makes a biblically-grounded argument for the desperate importance of expository preaching. Whether you preach to 3,000 or 30 this book will embolden you to: • revere the glorious, painful, historical call of preaching • dig deep in your study of God's word • speak and live with uncompromising conviction
