Preaching Is A Gift (John Newton)

"Be punctual in waiting upon God in secret." - John Newton

"Preaching is a gift. It cannot be learned by industry and imitation only, as a man may learn to make a chair or a table: it comes from above; and if you patiently wait upon God, He will bestow this gift upon you, and increase it in you. It will grow by exercise." -John Newton
