It is possible to love to preach without loving those to whom we preach. A lawyer may develop great ability in his or her profession without necessarily loving his or her clients. A physician may enjoy great success without loving his or patients. A businessman can rise to great heights of prosperity without loving his customers. But a preacher can never be a real worker for Christ without a deep passion for the lost souls to whom he or she preaches the Gospel of God's grace. The Study Guide is to help you maintain knowledge and be precise in the delivery of the Word of God. It is a study tool to enhance your ability as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It has daily reference checks and balances to assure you of your calling. The study guide is to make you aware of what you may not know and become proficient in what you do know. Stay on the course as you use both the book Homiletics and its mind tool The Study Guide."
