The preacher’s job is to minimize his own opinions, and to explain what the Bible says and apply it to people’s lives. The preacher’s job is to do that in a way that enables you to see in the Bible where his opinions come from. Because if you don’t see where they come from in the Bible, you will — in the long run — wind up putting your faith in a man and not in God’s word.

For some reason Piper’s preaching and writing has never appealed to me much but his point is great. Everyone has their “hobby horse” and I have sat under preachers where you could see the point of departure and how they are forming the sermon to get to their favorite issue. It got to where I could tell where we were going five minutes ahead of time.
