The preacher's sharpest and strongest preaching should be to himself. His most difficult, delicate, laborious, and thorough work must be with himself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To be a preacher requires two apparently contradictory qualities: confidence and humility.
A man can preach no better than he prays.
Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.
I don't like to consider myself a normal preacher. When you look at religious people, they're the ones who hung Christ from the cross. I look at myself as a man carrying a message of hope.
Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God.
Though language forms the preacher, 'Tis good works make the man.
When it comes to sermon writing, generally there are two problems. Some preachers love the research stage but hate the writing, and they start writing too late. Others don't like doing research, so they move way too fast to the writing part.
I do think that a minister who can preach a sermon without addressing sinners does not know how to preach.
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.
I don't appreciate a preacher who commits adultery and then goes out and blames me.
