The first demands wisdom and plainness, the second fervency, as the spirit of scriptural preaching. This combination exhibits the minister as \"a burning and a shining light\" ... imparting the spiritual light of divine truth, as well as the spiritual heat of divine fervor. Nothing is more indecent than a dead preacher speaking to dead sinners the living truth of the living God.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Charles Bridges, The Christian Ministry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Bridges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1396321721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781396321726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Left of Brain Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.29d","brand":"Charles Bridges","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064534692095,"sku":"9781396321726","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfbd068c-3937-4872-b569-73c181403525.jpg?v=1685396058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-christian-ministry-charles-bridges-9781396321726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
