The preacher's task

The preacher's task 

"The preacher's task is not to entertain or inform but to plead passionately with men and women to flee the wrath that is to come on account of sin.  The preacher is commissioned to call clearly for repentance and turning to Christ, to be a watchman rather than an entertainer."

 

( Iain M. Duguid, "THE NIV APPLICATION COMMENTARY: EZEKIEL")
