Too much to say and too little to tell

"Without such a cross and its Atonement we come to a religion of
much point but no atmosphere,
much sympathy and no imagination,
much kindness and no greatness,
much charm and no force
—a religion for the well-disposed and not for the rebel,
in which we love our neighbour, but not our enemy, and not our Judge;
a religion for the sensitive, but not for the world [...]
The public then goes past the preacher because he is not strong enough to arrest and compel them. He has too much to say and too little to tell."

(PT Forsyth, The Cruciality of the Cross)
