Moralistic preaching is preaching the commands of scripture and nothing else. When you assume that people understand the gospel, or you believe that Christians don't need to be reminded of the gospel, you're left with a "be like" or "be good" message which leads to pride or despair. Only the gospel- a message about Christ and what He has done- brings the power and fuel for Christians to obey the commands of scripture.
