“Not only must we pastors proclaim the truth, we also must speak so plainly that a peasant listening outside of the sanctuary can understand it and feel drawn into the church. We should preach so clearly that everyone would understand without a doubt that “this is the way to be saved. There is no other.” I would not be surprised if God would hurl a lightning bolt at every preacher who fills his manuscript with fancy terms, intending to shine by his speech-making.”
C.F.W Walther, Law and Gospel, Eighteenth Evening Lecture
