"Churches are not drying up and dying out because of a lack of education or learning. 

It is not a lack of oratory or attractive programs. Churches and Christians are suffering because there is so much of so many things, but so little of Jesus Christ. 

Charles H. Spurgeon said that it was his aim and goal in every sermon, to take a text and follow it like a road until it led him to Christ and His cross. If that particular text did not seem to lead in that direction, he would simply jump over to another text that did. 

Oh, that our preaching today had this same aim and goal."
