Clever Sermons Can Hide the Gospel

“Hear the Gospel, only mind that what you hear is the Gospel. You can hear some very smart sermons and very clever sermons and, as a rule, I may say that the cleverer they are, the worse they are! Where you see so much of the man, you will see very little of His Master.”

– Charles H. Spurgeon, quoted on Pure Church by Thabiti Anyabwile
