Preachers Should Speak Intelligibly
Apostolic Pastor
Acts 22:2-3
(And when they heard that he spoke in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he said,)…


When the people heard Paul speak in an intelligible language, they became quiet and attentive. Many preachers are to blame for the inattention of their audiences. They speak affectedly, or above the comprehension of the people. A preacher whose object is to edify, should apply himself to present the truth in the simplest and most comprehensible manner, and to address himself to the heart. The teaching of Jesus is the most complete and blessed example.
