Preaching simply

“If we love them, our objective will not be to impress them with our learning but to help them with theirs.”

A brief and very helpful reminder from Doug Wilson (quoting and summarising Stott) about the vital necessity of preaching with simplicity and clarity. [Edit: Wilson’s blog post is a paragraph long. The post is, indeed, brief – but not as brief as the sentence I’ve quoted above. Just to make clear!]

I’m also reminded of Stott’s maxim (paraphrased): People cannot simultaneously think I am a great preacher and Christ is a great Saviour.

Thank you Pastors Stott and Wilson for that.

If anyone reading this would like to pray for me in the specific area of my preaching, please make what Stott and Wilson are reminding us of a part of that. Thanks
