Ministers of the gospel should know how to speak with power and expression, making the words of eternal life so expressive and impressive that the hearers cannot but feel their weight. I am pained as I hear the defective voices of many of our ministers. Such ministers rob God of the glory He might have if they had trained themselves to speak the word with power. {6T 381.1}

(381) Evangeliets forkyndere bør kunne tale med kraft og på en udtryksfuld måde, sådan at de gør det evige livs ord så levende og udtryksfuldt at tilhørerne ikke kan undgå at føle dets værk. Det smerter mig når jeg hører den mangelfulde stemme hos mange af vore prædikanter. Disse prædikanter berøver Gud den ære han kunne have fået dersom de havde lært sig at tale ordet med kraft.
