======================================================================== PREACH IT PRACTICALLY by Arthur Vess ======================================================================== Summary: Preachers should preach in simple form, for men, and focus on glorifying God. Topics: "Effective Preaching", "Humility In Ministry" Scripture References: Proverbs 15:2, 1 Corinthians 2:1, Colossians 4:6, 1 Peter 4:11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arthur Vess emphasizes the importance of simplicity in preaching, urging preachers to convey profound truths in straightforward language that all can grasp. He highlights the need to glorify God alone and not boast in personal knowledge or wisdom. Vess encourages humility and a focus on practical, understandable messages that uplift and edify listeners. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Preach it practically, and in a simple form, so that "the wayfaring man, though he be a foolmay not err therein." Preach it for men, not angels. Put it down where all can understand and get it,but where none can trample it. A camp president said to a camp evangelist, "Your manners andlanguage are so simple, but you had not spoken long until I saw that you had a trained mind." Great preachers express great truths in simple words, but little preachers express little thoughts in big words. Never brag on your own knowledge, wisdom, experience, etc. Glorify God only! ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/arthur-vess/preach-it-practically/ ========================================================================
