Any preacher worth his salt will tell you that what is hardest, and what makes for a good sermon, is know what to leave in the study and not put in the sermon. Not how to leave bad stuff out, but good stuff. You can't say everything (or you'll overwhelm people, even if you have 1 and 1/2 hours!) and cutting is key. It is also really hard.

On another note, I converted the file to a 56k 22kHz MP3 file. It is now (still!) 30MB large. But I did not detect any noticeable loss of quality. I wonder what others think (kind of an audio experiment). I have uploaded it to my site (or it will be in 10 minutes), and you can download the 56k file at:

I think I will also convert it to 32k and see if it keep decent quality. I typically use 32k on my sermons (www.cckpca.org/sermons/

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
