In this post-modern culture in which we live - where people question absolute truth - stories are resistant to platitudes they're resistant to me making declarations of truth to them. A story can do that in kind of a Trojan-horse fashion.

All of my sermons become books. I've been accused of having no unpublished thought. I encourage pastors to do that. I think there are so many great sermons that never really get circulation.
