“Preaching should be expository, but this is not the same as completing an English
comprehension exercise.

Preachers expose the grammar and logic of their text as a means to the greater goal
of exposing the truth and reality that the text conveys.

Ultimately, they must speak as God speaks: to hold out _Him_.”
