This is what I don't get about someone like Charles Stanley. I mean how does the guy get so many to listen to him and follow his ministry at the local level as well as tv and radio? He rambles in monotone, making point after point, speaking in sound bites and three to four sentence paragraphs. No stories, no illustrations, no word pictures. Just nebulous phrases and utterances.
A friend (and a good preacher to boot) told me once "A sermon without illustrations is like a house without windows."
