Preachers prepare with this fear: 'Am I going to be able to fill the time?' The audience never worries about that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Disturbances in society are never more fearful than when those who are stirring up the trouble can use the pretext of religion to mask their true designs.
It's frightening to be facing an audience. There is always the fear of what they think of you, what they are saying about you.
When I go in front of an audience, I'll admit I sometimes have a certain amount of fear in me, because maybe the people are not going to accept what I'm doing today. That's bad for any artist, especially if what you're doing is not in line with what's happening today.
I am growing more and more aware that all too often we preachers aim at nothing and hit it.
I'm too scared to perform onstage. I'm not very good with big crowds.
Are you gonna fuel your faith or fuel your fear? I'm all about fueling my faith, especially when it's hard to do so.
We're so afraid to lose the audience. Let the audience go.
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.
My audience is going to die before I do.
