"My Pastor preaches too long." This is a complaint often heard from those who sit in the pew. It is interesting that this seems to be an issue. Having read not a few sermons from the Puritans, I get the idea that time constraints were meaningless to them. But, we live in a different world. As the joke goes, most preachers do not need a clock, they need a calendar. Admittedly, there are those who preach for but a few moments and it seems like an eternity. Likewise, there are others who preach for a hour and one wonders where the time has gone.
John MacArthur writes on this topic in Pulpit Magazine. It is profitable for the preacher and the listener. Find the article here
