Willard Scott’s Pound Cake

The modern invitation system…reveals a misunderstanding of the role of the preacher. The preacher's duty is not to 'get decisions.' His duty is to proclaim the good news and exhort men and women to go to Christ. This is the means which God uses to save. We preach, and God Himself uses the word preached to 'get the decision.' (What a woefully inadequate term that is! Saving faith is so much more than a 'decision.' It is running for rescue!) These roles must never be confused… The role of the preacher is to exhort men and women to faith in Christ. That is all. And that is enough. God is well able to do everything else.
