Preaching and the Holy Spirit’s Illumination
The preacher should not enter his pulpit claiming to have received a revelation; his claim should be that he is a man who reads the Word and prays and believes that the Holy Spirit illumines and enlightens his understanding, with the result that he has a message for the people.
Be Careful How You Hear God’s Word
Take heed how you hear: for upon your improving the grace you have, more shall be given, and you shall have abundance.

Preacher, Get out of Your Own Way!
I simply taught, preached, and wrote God’s Word; otherwise I did nothing.
