WHAT PREACHING SHOULD BE: 1. Reverential before God, “before whom I stand.” 2. ¡informational for man’s mind. 3. Inspirational for man’s soul and spirit. 4. Providential for man for that specific time. 5. Evidential, meeting all man’s doubts. 6. Prudential, not giving needless offense. 7. Confidential and personal, spoken as man to man, not a formal recital or reading. In Other Words: Be a condemner of sin not a condoner. Be a soul-winner not a “world-winner.” Be a peace-maker not a trouble-maker. Be a positive preacher not a negative affirmer. Be a servant of God not merely a servant of men’s opinions. Be a spiritual preacher not a social service man. Be a separated man not a “worldly good mixer.” Be a witness of God and for God not a waster of time by needless arguments. J. T. L.
