A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
We ministers ought to bring to the people Sabbath after Sabbath a message that will be helpful to them in one way or another—a message of instruction, of warning, of encouragement, of comfort, or inspiration. We ought never to be preaching in the air; we ought always to have something to say, to understand what that something is, why we ought to say it, why it is important that the people should hear it, and we should speak always in dependence upon the Holy Spirit to prepare the people to hear and to make the truth effectual. We are not to depend upon our eloquence or any trick of oratory. The only really saving power comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the preacher and in the hearts of the hearers.
