'tis Hard Preaching A Stone Into Tears, Or Making A Rock To Tremble.

I Like To Hear A Man Dwell Much On The Same Essentials Of Christianity. For We Have But One God, And One Christ, And One Faith To Preach; And I Will Not Preach Another Gospel To Please Men With Variety, As If Our Saviour And Our Gospel Had Grown Stale.

Naturally, Men Are Prone To Spin Themselves A Web Of Opinions Out Of Their Own Brain, And To Have A Religion That May Be Called Their Own. They Are Far Readier To Make Themselves A Faith, Than To Receive That Which God Hath Formed To Their Hands; Are Far Readier To Receive A Doctrine That Tends To Their Carnal Commodity, Or Honor, Or Delight, Than One That Tends To Self-denial.

Of All The Preaching In The World, I Hate That Preaching Which Tends To Make The Hearers Laugh, Or To Move Their Minds With Tickling Levity And Affect Them As Stage Plays Used To, Instead Of Affecting Them With A Holy Reverence For The Name Of God.
