Using 'You'

Small words - 'for', 'but', 'if', 'yet', 'since', 'then', for example - carry huge weight. As Donald G.Barnhouse said: 'In studying the word of God, we must never underestimate the importance of little words'. And the same goes for the use of little words when we are discussing and engaging in preaching and church practice. In this short work, David Gay looks at the way contemporary evangelicals treat one of these small words - 'you' - and has some trenchant things to say about it. He exposes, on the one hand, a sickly use of 'you' which is spreading like wildfire among advocates of the modern gospel - which is no gospel at all - and, on the other hand, a grievous lack of 'you' in preaching and, he fears, in the personal appropriation of the word of God. These are vital issues. Consequently, they merit serious attention - and action - by every believer. A free audiobook of the author reading this work may be found at davidhjgay.com
