“[Martin Lloyd-Jones] eschewed the word ‘address’, vilified the term ‘quiet talk’ but believed that the term ‘message’ appropriately describes what the preacher is about. He is a herald bringing a communication from the throne of God which demands a hearing and a response. ‘Scripture has to be fused into a message with point and power’, the sermon must move people, giving them a sense of the glory of God. Thus, it is necessary to bring the message and deliver it in ‘demonstration of the Spirit and of power’.”

–Tony Sargent, The Sacred Anointing, p. 85
