Proclaiming a Cross-Centered Theology

Loving, teaching, and rightly dividing the Word of God is everypastor’s privilege and responsibility. If a pastor understands what the Word says about God, man, and the curse, about Christ and his substitutionaryatonement, and about the call to repentance and sacrifice, he will develop andpreach a sound theology. And sound theology is, in the words of J. LigonDuncan, essential to faithful pastoral ministry.

Proclaiming a theology that is centered on Christ’s atonement is especiallycritical, for by this atonement Christians have been brought from death tolife, and by it a church lives or dies.

Mahaney, and Albert Mohler inexploring the church’s need for faithful proclamation and calling pastorsand churches to cross-centered, scripturally saturated thinking.
