I’ve preached thousands of sermons. Good ones and bad ones.
When you hear and preach that many sermons, you stop being impressed by the flashy things that don’t matter and you start noticing the fundamental things that do matter.

Here’s a link to an article I wrote about that. It has links to two other articles, as well.

Good points Karl! I like to hear the same things.
Nice to know it’s not just me. 😉
