No Fluff it only muddles your message by allowing your thoughts to wander here and there. When you teach and preach by way of fluff and wandering around without a laser focus, people will walk away from your teaching/preaching and say (EXAMPLE) “They said some good stuff, but I don’t know what the ultimate point was.” When I preach, I synthesize my sermons into ONE sentence and make sure that everything in my notes are integrated to support that ONE sentence. It forces focus and precision. This focus makes the message more powerful and keeps your listeners engaged.
