“The Word itself creates its own hearing, as it once created its own world, by re-creating those through faith who once had no faith. Nothing more needs to be done; no homiletical gimmicks or artificial techniques are required to make the gospel effective. The gospel is mighty to work its way to those who have ears but do not hear. It breaks hearts of stone to create hearts of flesh. ‘Is not my word like fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer which breaks the rock in pieces?’ (Jer 23:29).” ~James Daane, Preaching with Confidence: A Theological Essay on the Power of the Pulpit
