When Pharaoh exalted Joseph to be ruler over Egypt, he made several decrees concerning Joseph, but his instructions to the people were only two. The first was, “Bow the knee” (Gen. 41:43). Next, when the people were in need, he instructed them to “Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do” (Gen. 41:55). Those who would preach the gospel of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ must strictly adhere to both the content and the order of these decrees. We tell men first of the majesty of His Person, His Lordship and sovereignty. Should anyone be in need, we direct them to Him, for He alone can save and that by the power of His word.

Many modern critics are to the word of God what blow-flies are to the food of men: they cannot do any good, and unless relentlessly driven away they do great harm.

What is a preacher? - A preacher is a nobody who tells everybody about somebody who can save anybody.
