Take a core doctrine (say the Oneness of God) and write it three different ways:</strong></p><p>1. As a tightly reasoned academic argument.</p><p>2. As a letter to a confused 19-year-old.</p><p>3. As an opening paragraph for a Bible study.</p><p><strong>II. Two Observations:</strong></p><p>1. Doctrine doesn&#8217;t change. The delivery must. Same truth, different soil.</p><p>2. How it lands in the soul determines whether it becomes head knowledge or heart transformation.</p><p><strong>I. One Takeaway:</strong></p><p>The pastoral power of preaching, teaching or writing is the ability to sing the same eternal truth in three different keys, so more people hear the music.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://greetingsfrombabylon.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">GREETINGS FROM BABYLON is a reader-supported publication.
