"You Spoke as if You Came Straight from the Presence"
Story★★★★The preacher is only at his best when he is most fervent in spirit. He must not only enter the ministry under the urge of genuine religious enthusiasm. He must “maintain the spiritual glow.” We should face our many problems with a throbbing sense of the reality of the indwelling Spirit, and our people should be able to discern that we speak with spiritual authority. I think it is Gossip who tells of Alexander Whyte that some one said to him, “You spoke as if you came straight from the Presence.” “Perhaps I did,” he answered, shyly.
The point
The preacher is at his best when most fervent in spirit, maintaining spiritual glow from genuine enthusiasm and the indwelling Spirit's reality.
