我以前被问到为什么我在讲道前不祷告，这是一个有趣的假设。他们怎么会知道？我想，他们想问的是，为什么我不跪在他们面前祈祷。为什么不让你看看我在祈祷？如果你想知道，我向你保证，我在布道前会祈祷。我也希望你能。当然，布道不仅仅是关于牧师要说什么。这也是上帝让听众听到的。有时你会听到令人惊讶的事情。你会告诉乔什或我你听到的事情，然后我们会问对方，“我说过吗？”“没有。”布道是分享经验。我们需要你像我们所寻求的那样参与布道。在我们中的一个人布道之前我们都应该祈祷。我们布道的时候你应该祈祷。仔细想想，也许这就是为什么我在布道时看到那么多闭着眼睛的人。感谢你们的祈祷。在我们的赞美诗里有一段祷告，我的一些同事在布道前会祈祷。这是一个来自肯尼亚的祈祷文，位于597号。我要你转向它这样我们就能一起祈祷了。
I’ve been asked before why I don’t pray before I preach, which is an interesting assumption for someone to make. How would they know? What they mean to ask, I think, is why I don’t kneel in front of them to pray. Why don’t I show you that I’m praying? If you’re wondering, I assure you, I pray before I preach. I hope you do, as well. The sermon, of course, isn’t just about what the preacher has to say. It’s also what God has the hearers hear. Sometimes you hear surprising things. You’ll tell Josh or me something you heard and we’ll ask the other later, “Did I say that?” “No.” Sermons are shared experiences. We need you to be as engaged as we seek to be for a sermon to work. We should all be praying before one of us preaches. You should be praying while we’re preaching. Come to think of it, maybe that’s why I see so many closed eyes during the sermons. Thank you for your prayers. There’s a prayer in our hymnal that some of my colleagues pray before they preach. It’s a prayer from Kenya found at number 597. I want you to turn to it so we can pray together.
