More Gleanings from 'Bunyan's Characters' by A. Whyte - Preaching against Particular sins.

0
In talking about Evangelist Whyte quotes one Robert Hall who charged a young minister with the following advice;

"Be not afraid,' said Robert Hall in his charge to a young minister, 'of devoting whole sermons to particular parts of moral conduct and religious duty. It is impossible to give right views of them unless you dissect characters and describe particular virtues and vices. The works of the flesh and the fruits of the Spirit must be distinctly pointed out. To preach against sin in general without descending to particulars may lead many to complain of the evil of their hearts, while at the same time they are awfully inattentive to the evil of their conduct."
