A Kindled Heart

Sharing Options

“One of the conditions for sucessful gospel preaching is a concern for and desire for the salvation of souls. The prophet said, ‘As soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.’ When the Church ‘travails’ — is moved with compassion, as Christ was, over a lost world — then the Church will bring forth her children . . . Phillips Brooks used to say, ‘The heart of the preacher ought to kindle at the sight of a man'” (Macartney, Preaching Without Notes, p. 18).
