The Test of Christian Preaching

It is a bad sign for a preacher when his preaching awakens no antagonisms; when it is only and wholly popular. “Woe unto you when all men speak well of you.” Obloquy is not a conclusive evidence of Christian grace; but absolutely unimpaired popularity is a strong indication of the want of it. Every Christian preacher should have, like Christ, a fan in his hand, and his life and his preaching should have a judgment-day quality in them.
