Preach the Word

It is a fair question whether some of the falling off of conversions is not to be attributed to a falling off in many minds of an implicit faith in the perfect truthfulness, perfect infallibility, and perfect inspired authority of God's blessed word. A certain style of reckless and irreverent Biblical criticism is working sad havoc in these days. The minister who wastes his week over studies that unsettle him, and on Sunday mounts his pulpit with shaking knees, is not likely to win many converts. Brethren, “preach the Word!” That is the beginning and the end of your high commission. Preach the Word, seasoned with prayer, and God will take care of it, and converts will be multiplied. — T. L. Cuyler.
