>”In too many churches, people hear the same applications, in much the same words, week after week. Week by week they hear that they should pray more, evangelize more, serve more; be more holy, more faithful, more committed. Contaminated by traces of legalism, such messages grow dull and predictable. If the preacher’s ultimate crime is to promote heresy, the penultimate crime is to make the faith seem boring.”
— Daniel M. Doriani, Putting the Truth to Work
