Tim Raymond offers some thoughtful counsel on how preachers can fight pride:
- Prayerfully examine your heart daily for pride and repent quickly.
- Cultivate distrust for your own evaluations of your sermons.
- Grow in your realization that your sermon is entirely dependent upon God’s sovereign grace.
- Pray desperately for an outpouring of God’s Spirit.
- Exercise faith in the truth that God’s normal means of salvation and sanctification is the ordinary sermon.
