God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

There are many reasons why pastors must preach from the Old Testament: 1. The Old Testament is part of the Christian canon. 2. It discloses the history of redemption leading to Christ. 3. It proclaims truths not found in the New Testament. 4. It helps us understand the New Testament. 5. It prevents misunderstanding of the New Testament. 6. It provides a fuller understanding of Christ.
Sidney Greidanus

The modern definition of faith eliminates repentance, erases the moral elements of believing, obviates the work of God in the sinner’s heart, and makes an ongoing trust in the Lord optional. Far from championing the truth that human works have no place in salvation, modern easy-believism has made faith itself a wholly human work, a fragile, temporary attribute that may or may not endure.
