Thought for April 28

[Thought for the Day]

     The messages of truth are to be kept entirely free from cheap, common
words of human devising. Thus forcible impressions will be made upon hearts.
Let not our ministers cherish the idea that they must bring forth something
new and strange, or that cheap, common expressions will give them influence.
Ministers are to be the mouthpiece of God, and they must eradicate from
their speech every expression that is cheap or common. Let them be careful
lest by attempting during their discourse to cause laughter, they dishonor
God.  Evangelism, p. 211
