I’ve heard all kinds of preachers. I’ve heard the ignorant boasters; I’ve heard the dull, dry ones; I’ve heard the eloquent ones. But the ones who have helped me most were the ones who were awestruck in the presence of the God about whom they spoke. They might have a sense of humor, they might be jovial; but when they talked about God, another tone came into their voice altogether; this was something else, something wonderful. I believe we ought to have again the old biblical concept of God that makes God awful and makes men lie face down and cry, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.”
