Focus On Actual Audience
- Preachers often unnecessarily focus on preaching to an audience they don't actually have present.
- Instead, they should preach to the real, present congregation before them.
Passion Over Preaching Adornments
- Preachers spend too much time on illustrations and adornments to cover lack of passion.
- Instead, the text should captivate the preacher first, making adornment natural and less necessary.
Avoid Over-Academicizing Sermons
- Avoid over-academicizing sermons with excessive historical info or original languages.
- The translated Word of God is sufficient for weekly pastoral preaching needs.
