The act of preaching, too, received close attention from ML-J. Authentic preaching involves ‘the whole personality of the preacher’,34 ‘a sense of authority and control over the congregation’.35 The element of freedom and control by the Holy Spirit is of the very essence of this act of preaching as well as interaction and interplay between preacher and congregation.36 Seriousness, liveliness, zeal, and a sense of concern, warmth, urgency37 and the element of pathos are also essential in preaching.
