“Reflecting poetically on the urgency and centrality of preaching, the Puritan pastor, Richard Baxter once remarked, ‘I Preach’d, as never sure to Preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.’ With vivid expression and a sense of gospel gravity, Baxter understood that preaching is literally a life-or-death affair. Eternity hangs in the balance as the preacher proclaims the Word.”
