“Emotion, doubtless, is a very proper thing in the pulpit, and the feeling, the 
pathos, the power of heart, are good and grand things in the right place; but do
also use your brains a little, do tell us something when you stand up to preach 
the everlasting gospel.

The sermons that are most likely to convert people seem to me to be those that are
full of truth, truth about the fall, truth about the law, truth about human nature,
and its alienation from God, truth about Jesus Christ, truth about the Holy Spirit,
truth about the Everlasting Father, truth about the new birth, truth about obedience
to God, and how we learn it, and all such great verities.

Tell your hearers something, dear brethren, whenever you preach, tell them something,
tell them something!”

–Charles H. Spurgeon, “[Sermons Likely to Win Souls](http://www.spurgeon.org/misc/sw04.htm)”
in _The Soul Winner_.
