A doctrine of God
Behind the concept and the act of preaching there lies a doctrine of God, a conviction about his being, his action and his purpose. The kind of God we believe in determines the kind of sermons we preach.

Excellent exhortation to measure everything against Scripture...and resist the temptation to take anything for "gospel" that comes out of the mouths of men.

I totally agree. Very well put.
I bought a sermon from piper the other day entitled:
Why Expositional Preaching is Particularly Glorifying to God
You should check it out when you get a chance. It affirms what Stott is saying.
