Another way of stating Nevin’s defense of justification by faith as opposed to “justification by fancy”

Find the right role model (Preaching again)
Nothing can make a good preacher worse than trying to follow the style of a great preacher. That’s an exaggeration. There are probably many things that can make one worse. But my point is simple: you can’t just imitate anyone … Continue reading
