- Clarity in preaching is hard to define. What is clear to some may not be to others.
- Clarity in presentation not equal to clarity in comprehension.
- First component to preaching is Theology: we must tell the truth and not just meaningless talk (1Timothy 1:3).
- Second component is Method: not by deception or lies (2Corinthians 4:1-2) but demonstrating God's power by their conversion (1Corinthians 2:4-5).
- Clarity in preaching is bound up in the preacher - not the style or personality - but their private relationship with God. A real understanding of the gospel that is gripping the life of the preacher will be shown in the way in which they passionately preach the truth.
- Preaching is not an art, but a heart - a heart set ablaze by the gospel and burdened by the loss of sinners.
