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

There is something radically wrong with dull and boring preachers. How can a man be dull when he is handling such themes? I would say that a ';dull preacher' is a contradiction in terms; if he is dull he is not a preacher. He may stand at the pulpit and talk, but he is certainly not a preacher. With the grand theme and message of the Bible dullness is impossible. This is the most interesting, the most thrilling, the most absorbing subject in the universe; and the idea that this can be presented in a dull manner makes me seriously doubt whether the men who are guilty of this dullness have ever really understood the doctrine they claim to believe, and which they advocate. We often betray ourselves by our manner.

If the Bible doesn't mean exactly what it says, if we say it doesn't mean what it says, then to what authority do we turn to find out what it does mean?

    Jonah 2

    [4]

    2:1 Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish’s belly.

    2:2 He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

    2:3 For you threw me into the depths, In the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.

    2:4 I said, ‘I have been banished from your sight; Yet I will look again toward your holy temple.’

    2:5 The waters surrounded me, Even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

    2:6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth barred me in forever: Yet have you brought up my life from the pit, Yahweh my God.

    2:7 “When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.

    2:8 Those who regard lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

    2:9 But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh.”

    2:10 Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.
