A Word for Preachers

"Preaching is not the business of speculating about God's nature, will, or ways, but is bearing witness to what God has said concerning Himself. Preaching does not consist of speculation but of exposition. The preacher dares to speak the Word of truth to a generation that rejects the very notion of objective, public truth. This is not rooted in the preacher's arrogant claim to have discovered worldly wisdom or to have penetrated the secrets of the universe. To the contrary, the preacher dares to proclaim truth on the basis of God's sovereign self-disclosure. God has spoken, and He has commanded us to speak of Him."
Al Mohler

Awesome quote! I think that may be the best quote I've seen on preaching yet!
