Simple Preaching
“Preach to the milkmaids, and the doctors will be edified.”
When I first heard that comment by Martin Luther, it instantly
became one of my favorites. Let’s preach the Word so simply
and clearly that even the humblest of our hearers understands,
and the most intelligent will benefit too. “Preach to the
milkmaids, and the doctors will be edified.” I was happy when
I was asked to write for a new series of Preach the Word with
a focus on the idea of Luther’s axiom: Simple preaching.
