Of Jonathan Edwards’s preaching, John Piper explains that he “could no more imagine speaking in a cold or casual or indifferent or flippant manner about the great things of God than he could imagine a father discussing coolly the collapse of a flaming house upon his children.”8
It is no badge of honor to preach boring sermons.
Scripture is white-hot with the intent to rescue, to transform, and to change—how can we preach any portion of it in a cold, dutiful way?
