“I must make clear in my preaching that I preach what I have been told to preach. I serve the text, not those who listen. I must thereby help my listeners recover the adventure of being those who are baptized to listen to the text, those who bear the burden and the blessing of bending our lives in conformity to the demands of Scripture. Morality is always a liturgical matter? Who is the God we worship?”
–William Willimon, Preaching Master Class (Eugene, OR: Cascade, 2010), 59.
