Pastors and preachers: have you listened critically to any of your sermons? Little habits that we have picked up (hacking in between phrases) can be detrimental to the message you desire to deliver. Saying, look over at your neighbor and say too often can lead to audience waiting for the next look at your neighbor. rather than listening to what God has given you. Prayer is VERY important and just as important is PREPARATION! If there are some points, then we should know what they are. If there are actions we should take, we should know them. If there is a conclusion, please make it.
