For you men who will undertake the task of preaching this week.
‘When a man who is apt in teaching, whose soul in on fire with the truth which he trusts has saved him and hopes will save others, speaks to his fellow-men, face to face, eye to eye, and electric sympathies flash to and fro between him and his hearers, till they lift each other up, higher and higher, into the intensest thought and the most impassioned emotion – higher and yet higher, till they are borne as on chariots of fire above the world, - there is a power to move men, to influence character, life, destiny, such as no printed page can ever possess.’
John Broadus
