Preach Plainly.

“There is prodigious power in this plainness of presentation. It is the power of actual contact. A plain writer, or speaker, makes the truth and the mind impinge upon each other. When the style is plain, the mind of the hearer experiences the sensation of being touched; and this sensation is always impressive, for a man starts when he is touched” (Shedd, Homiletics and Pastoral Theology, p. 64).  


Some of history's most powerful Bible messages seem like not much when you read them. But there is a unique power to plain speech.
