The fact that Gen Y’s crave experience over explanation points further to the fact that a speaker who speaks with emotion and engages the crowd will be more likely to have an impact than those who present the information in a formal teaching style.

I almost feel like the death-by-bullet points insults my intelligence.

Clifford Warne and Paul White pointed out years ago that if the bible reader is a competent one, you're much better off closing your bible and listening. I'd still like to have my bible accessible while I'm listening to the message, though. Interesting point about reading along in our bibles.

Some helpful food for thought in all of that.... The Bible Reading issue is a good one, I think we have everyone have a Bible in response to the pre-reformation days, along with the priesthood of all believers being able to look at the Bible themselves and criticise my talks based on that. I wonder if taking the Bibles away would endorse a return to such ideas of the priesthood? Just thinking Steve Thanks mate…
