Homiletics 101 from The Doctor

Friends reminded me of this from The Doctor:

One eccentric preacher's headings: 

(1) A good trait in a bad character - Balaam arose early 

(2) The antiquity of saddlery - he saddled his ass 

(3) A few remarks concerning the Woman of Samaria. 

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones on The Shape of the Sermon in Preaching & Preachers, p208, warning against always having 3 points and adding in extraneous elements.

 I've not looked at the book in ages but it has quite a lot of annotations. I obviously found it stimulating at Christmas 1996!
