“If the life within the minister’s own heart is not right, it will be natural and easy for him to avoid and omit the great searching truths of the gospel” (Macartney, Preaching Without Notes, pp. 21-22).
Covered in Hot Gravy
The faithful Christian looks around the table, sees who is sitting with him, and he loves them. The fellowship and thanksgiving sanctify whatever is on the table — and pretty much anything can be on the table. If we can get it down, there is not much that gratitude can’t sanctify (1 Tim. 4:4).
