Preaching to the People

By T. Rutherford

MANY preachers study their sermons without studying the people to whom they are to preach them. Hence their preaching, though good in the main, is not suited to the tastes and wants of their hearers. They either speak of things at a distance, or else in such a way that the people do not feel themselves much interested in what was delivered. Their words do not come home, do not reach the heart and conscience, but fail, like pointless arrows, short of the mark.—T. Rutherford.
