“Any reformation of the church depends upon a high view of preaching. But a high view of preaching by itself, apart from a scriptural basis for that high view, will lead only to puffed-up and conceited preachers. Personal bombast and dogmatism are not the need of the hour. But neither do we need preachers who think that they are in the pulpit on the basis of their own boyish good looks — men who chat, tell anecdotes, or share. Peter tells us in the plainest possible terms that the one who speaks should do so as the very oracles of God (1 Pet. 4:11)” (Mother Kirk, p. 67).
