"Too many dead men in pulpits giving out dead sermons to too many dead people."

“The tragedy of this late hour is that we have too many dead men in pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people. Oh! the horror of it. There is a strange thing I have seen “under the sun,” even in the fundamentalist circles; it is preaching without unction. What is unction? I hardly know. But I know what it is not (or at least I know when it is not upon my own soul). Preaching without unction kills instead of giving life. The unctionless preacher is a savor of death unto death. The Word does not live unless the unction is upon the preacher. Preacher, with all thy getting—get unction.” [Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries (Minneapolis: Bethany House, 1959; 1987), 20.]
