A bad sermon is like a car wreck - everyone slows down to see what happened.

I take it for granted that you do not wish to hear an echo from the pulpit nor from the theological class-room.

I don't appreciate a preacher who commits adultery and then goes out and blames me.

I do think that a minister who can preach a sermon without addressing sinners does not know how to preach.

Preachers denounce sin as if it was available to everyone.

If I had only one sermon to preach it would be a sermon against pride.

Preachers in pulpits talked about what a great message is in the book. No matter what you do, somebody always imputes meaning into your books.

I think pastors are the worst listeners. We're so used to speaking, teaching, giving answers. We must learn to be quiet, quit being so verbal, learn to pay attention to what's going on, and listen.

If you're a preacher, you talk for a living, so even if you don't make sense, you learn to make nonsense eloquently.

The preacher's sharpest and strongest preaching should be to himself. His most difficult, delicate, laborious, and thorough work must be with himself.
