Ministers of the gospel should expect their teaching to have transformative power over the course of years and decades. Gospel proclamation is not like the coach's half time talk in the locker room, where the exhortation is all about now, and the application, all the application, immediately follows... You might see a man do the right thing today, and not know that it could all be traced back to a sermon heard by his great grandmother on his mother's side in 1932.
