How to Evaluate Your Pastor's Preaching

We live in a culture of critique with entertainment-driven evaluation and instant feedback:

• Celebrity judges on reality television evaluate people’s talents, singing, dancing, cooking, etc., offering witty comments and cutting judgments.
• Talking heads on sports and political broadcasts argue with each other, second-guessing every decision and analyzing others’ performances.
• Social media provides instant feedback loops on articles, photos, videos, and everything else. Many an ego has been stroked and many a heart has been broken by the comments (or lack thereof) that stream into one’s feed

In the church, we must walk the fine line between critique and criticism. I was recently asked to write an article for 9Marks on "How to Evaluate Your Pastor's Preaching."
