Hints on Preaching

1. Deal with men  individually as if only speaking to one person.
2. Deal with men on the grounds of sins committed, show them what these are from the law’s prohibition of them.
3. Keep   one   leading   truth   before  the mind that all said may be round it as a sort of center.
4. Refer more to Scripture,, turning up the passages, and urging that they  are as the very words of God.
5. Urge the awful sin of rejecting Christ and show this from Scripture.
6. Pray in private as long as you speak in public.     Get alone before the meeting.
7. When flurried during speaking, stop and pray for more strength and liberty.
8. Speak more of the Person of Jesus, the joy of being with Him and His second coming.
