Convincing Preaching
2 Samuel 12:7
And Nathan said to David, You are the man. Thus said the LORD God of Israel, I anointed you king over Israel…


A parishioner of Whately said to the Archbishop that he did not believe that the occupant of the pulpit had a right to make those in the pew uncomfortable. Whately agreed, but added, "Whether the sermon is to be altered or the man's life depends on whether the doctrine is right or wrong." Said Robert Morris to Dr. Rush, "I like that preaching best which drives a man into the corner of his pew and makes him think the devil is after him."

(E. P. Thwing.)
