Where's the quote from?
From a lecture he did @ Calvin Theological Seminary. It's pretty old, as I listened to it on *cassette*!
Amen
I've found some Bible verses to back that up...
1 Thessalonians 5:27
I put you under oath before the Lord to have this letter preached through exegetically to all the brothers.
Colossians 4:16
And when this letter has been preached through among you, have it also preached in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that someone preaches through the letter from Laodicea.
Revelation 1:3
Blessed is preacher who expounds the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those that download the MP3s ...
;)
Maybe John Stott needs to come see a show by The Backyard Bard...
Oh Rob, Stott was speaking during a different dispensation of God's plan of salvation, before the glory of BB had been revealed :-)
