Authority in Preaching

Mohler analyzes the role of authority in the pulpit in regards to
expository preaching on pages 115-118 of GPTG. He rightly notes, "The preacher dares to speak on behalf of God...No one should even contemplate such an endeavor without absolute confidence in a divine call to preach and in the unblemished authority of the holy Scriptures" (116). In our postmodern culture where absolute truth and objectivity are so often called into question, how can we as preachers convince our congregations that what we are preaching is not our mere interpretations of the text but rather the very word of God? Also, what do we do with passages that we are unsure of the interpretation?
