Preaching

"It is true that the Word is preached to all the world, to gather in God's elect, who are scattered about the world, and to leave the rest without excuse. But the chief reason the Lord Christ had in setting up a preaching ministry is to gather in those heirs of salvation to the enjoyment of that feast of fat things which he has prepared for them in his house."

-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 162
