“This high view of preaching has consequences. Christians are people of the Word, and as a result they are people of words. They are people of the enscripturated Word, and the preached word. We love the Truth, and this is why we must necessarily love truths. The flip side of this is that when a love for the Lord Jesus declines, one of the first places it manifests itself is in an obvious contempt for words. Words become little lumps of neutral playdough, on which a dishonest heart can exercise its creativity. But really the source of this rebellion in the little things, and the final direction of it, is hostility to the ultimate Word” (Mother Kirk, pp. 72-73).
