“There is something uniquely special about the relationship between God and humanity. Genesis 3:8 then says that Adam and Eve, could hear “the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” This shows us that God was not about to abandon His creation to run on its own, but rather, from the very beginning, He was intentionally with His creation. He desired to dwell with His creation. So not only was God endowing His image to His created humanity, but He was specifically with His people, Adam and Eve.”

“(Gal. 6:6). 63 Shepherd Preachers are called to preach this Word of God, and nothing else. When a preacher fails to preach the Scriptures, “he abandons his authority. He confronts his hearers no longer with a word from God but only with another word from men.”64 Practically speaking, as a result, preaching must always be saturated in God’s written revelation as contained in both the Old and the New Testaments. Preaching that pleases God is not in the business of “speculating about God's nature, will, or ways, but is bearing witness to what God has spoken concerning himself. Preaching does not consist of speculation but of exposition. The preacher dares to speak the Word of truth to a generation that rejects the very notion of objective, public truth.”
