"It is important for [the preacher's] own sake, it is important for his people's sake, that he should preach every sermon to himself as one of the chief auditors ... even when he is addressing the [unbeliever], for their hearts and his are by nature alike, and the gulf from which he would draw them is the gulf from which he has only narrowly escaped himself."
As quoted by Jerry Wragg, Exemplary Spiritual Leadership (Day One Publications, 2010), 43.
