The True Evangelical Preacher Speaks
1 Corinthians 2:13-14
Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches…


I. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

1. He has received the Spirit.

2. Is instructed by the Spirit.

3. Speaks with the demonstration of the Spirit.

II. AFTER CAREFUL STUDY OF GOD'S WORD. Comparing, selecting, with much humility and prayer.

III. HE CANNOT, THEREFORE, ACCOMMODATE HIMSELF TO THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD —

1. Either by modifying his doctrine to please worldly men —

2. Or adopting a worldly method of address.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
