This article was written for the Florida Baptist Witness

Living now in what he calls the “transfer zone”
in which he is seeking to pass along to a new generation of
pastors what God has taught him in half a century of ministry,
Adrian Rogers told more than 170 pastors and church staff,
“I cannot overemphasize the importance of preaching.”
Rogers led a one-day seminar, “It’s Monday, but
Sunday’s coming,” for the first time last month
as part of his Pastor Training Institute.
