There is an aweful assumption in evangelical churches that if we can just get the Word of God into people’s heads, then the Spirit of God will apply it to their hearts. That assumption is aweful, not because the Spirit never does what the assumption supposes, but because it excused pastors and leaders from the responsibility to tangle with people’s lives.
