The Problem of Western Reformed Preaching Today (By Washer & Tong)

I came across these. I'm going to assume the remarkable similarity between Washer & Tong's message was coincidental (God lead).

From @53:25 time frame of Paul Washer's sermon on "Song of Solomon (Prayer as Communion):

"I'm so sick tired of proper theologically correct reformed preaching, where we are all amazed at...explaining everything coldly and calculating as though God were a mathematical formula. Listen to me, the worst thing that can ever happen to a preacher is for him to become civilized and respectable, there ought to be a sense that any man who proclaims God ought to be somewhat of a mad man, because he's speaking about the glories of God..."

@36:25 of the same sermon, Paul Washer took it to himself to confront interruption of his sermon, just like Dr. Tong.

Similar message from Dr. Tong @2:58:40 of his recent Taiwan sermon "即時串流" (It would appear that they have taken it down from Youtube, good thing I made of copy of it):

今天特别是归正神学运动的人,他们讲的都是。。。这样那样哇这个很好,传道都是知识,没有信息。。。

So I was thrilled to hear Dr. Tong said in the sermon that he has invited Paul Washer to this November's summit in Jakarta. After hearing also that he will be one of the speakers at the Ligonier Conference 2017, now I only wish to find the recordings of these later.
