An orator moves men to do what they are indifferent about; a preacher of the Gospel has to move men to do what they are dead-set against doing, viz., giving up the right to themselves. The one calling of the New Testament preacher is to uncover sin and reveal Jesus Christ as Savior, consequently he cannot be poetical, he has to be surgical. We are not sent to give beautiful discourses which make people say, what a lovely conception that is, but to unearth the devil and his works in human souls. Oswald Chambers, Approved Unto God, 20.
