“If I do not procure the edification of those who hear me, I am a sacrilege, profaning God’s Word.” Edification is central to proper preaching: “For God will have his people edified. . . . When we come together in the name of God, it is not to hear merry songs and to be fed with wind, that is vain and unprofitable curiosity, but to receive spiritual nourishment.”
