Here, then, is the preacher's authority. It depends on the closeness of his adherence to the text he is handling, that is, on the accuracy with which he has understood it and on the forcefulness with which it has spoken to his own soul...What really feeds the household is the food which the householder supplies, not the steward who dispenses it.
John Stott, The Preacher's Portrait, p.26 (my emphasis)
