Smoggy Preaching
Once, after hearing a verbose preacher, one parishoner commented, "My, wasn't that deep?"
Her husband replied, "Nah, just muddy."
Several years ago, Professor G. Harry McLaughlin created a formula to measure the muddiness of communication.
He called the tool SMOG -- Simple Measure of Gobbledygook
You can test the readability of your own writing by using the SMOG Calculator.
Pastor, you might want to run your sermon through this before you preach it next Sunday.
