Short on sermons

Short on sermons
I plan to use this quotation in my sermon tonight!

Jesus was short on sermons, long on conversations;
short on answers, long on questions;
short on abstractions and propositions,
long on stories and parables;
short on telling you what to think,
long on challenging you to think for yourself;
short on condemning the irreligious,
long on confronting the religious.

Evangelism in the style of Jesus; evangelism that flows like a dance.

From: Brian D. McLaren, More ready than you realize.
