exhortation

One of the harmful clichés of modern life is the exhortation to be nonjudgmental.

You would never imagine for a moment you were listening to a fire- and-brimstone orthodox Muslim exhortation.

Let me also say this:  The promotion of human rights cannot be about exhortation alone.

There is no proof that they gave heed to the exhortation to repent, and the candle-stick has long since been taken away.
