Scrivener on Two Ways to Preach

I think this question, asked in reference to David & Goliath illustrates well what a preacher should be aimimg towards...

"Are we battle weary
drill sergeants briefing the troops
from the King's manual,
or are we joyful heralds
of the King's victory?"

The former comes naturally, the latter is much harder work - but is surely what the church needs to be hearing week on week.
