Do you know who Eric Clapton is?
An itinerant Pastor arrived at a rural meeting house on Sunday and was dismayed to find only one person sitting in the meeting room. He said, "well, I guess we can skip the sermon, and just go fishing." The person responded, well if I go out to feed my cattle and come across just one, I feed it."
Taken aback, the Pastor says "you are right" and steps behind the pulpit and begins to present God's word. He quotes and expounds and provides illustrations from daily life, he challenges and makes comparisons. An hour, then two, passes and finally the Pastor draws it to a close.
The person, stands, smiles and thanks the Pastor. The Pastor asks what the person thought, and the person responded, I said I would feed it, not drop the whole load.
Isnt that the guy with long hair that plays the saxophone? No it must be the guy that plays the fiddle and has a theater in Branson.

This is one of my favorite stories.
Hmm...But so you know, I rarely listen to sermons, so with MLJ, I read his books......unless of course he is on a 5 minute Youtube. Same with Furgy.
Ha,Ha,Ha! ;-) See my prior post and your contradictions.I didn't say I sit there and listen to him did I?
Hmm...
Here are your own words:
"I warn you however, that it is a sermon, so over an hour is recommended for listening to it." (10/16/12)
"I listen to at [least] one good hour long sermon a day from Sermon Audio."(10/17/12)
"I suggest you spend an hour and listen to Sinclair's sermon." (10/17/12)
"Look up Sinclair Ferguson's sermon...on election." (8/21/13)
"Sinclair Ferguson's captivates me both in his books and his sermons." (11/5/13)
Therefore,between these 14 solid preachers the average sermon length is in the vicinity of 45 minutes. From what I have gleaned from the majority of posters on this thread -- they are used to bite sized sermons. And from their experience, not having been under preaching that is rich in biblical content --they wrongly assume that those who preach for more than their ideal of 20-30 minutes are:
repetitive, mundane, boring, blathering, droning and long-winded.
What these folks need to do is actually listen to some of the preachers I have named. Look them up on sermonaudio.com. See for yourself. Open your eyes --listen and ... change.
James White, in his last sermon of 5/11/2014 called "Pursue peace and holiness" said :"Sermonettes make Christianettes."
