A Puritan at Heart

Daily quote from the puritans

The power of Spirit-filled preaching

The Spirit in me doth kindle a reverence in the spirit of the hearer; and if it be not in me, the spirit of the hearer will discern me not to be sent, but only to have the word of the commission, and not to have the power; for the power is the evident argument that a man is sent. Therefore,many start to teach the Word, who are not sent…and therefore the flock of God remains without edification, and the kingdom of God is not built up, because they have only the word of commission and lack the power of the Spirit that should make the Word effectual to the hearer. [Robert Bruce]
