What will the preachers say? .. to teach men not to persecute men: for, while a few sanctimonious humbugs are burning a few fanatics, the earth opens and swallows up all alike.
Voltaire
Image
I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Image
The preacher who jests and jokes with his people all week will soon find that he cannot stand in his pulpit on Sunday with power to reprove, rebuke and exhort. He may be the life of the party but it will be the death of the prophet.
Vance Havner
Image
There are ultimately only two possible adjustments to life one is to suit our lives to principles the other is to suit principles to our lives. If we do not live as we think, we soon begin to think as we live. The method of adjusting moral principles to the way men live is just a perversion of the order of things.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
For preachers, clarity is a moral matter. It is not merely a question of rhetoric, but a matter of life and death.
Haddon W. Robinson

I'd make a bad preacher.
Dan Aykroyd

The lens of fear magnifies the size of uncertainty.

I was probably toward 8 1/2 when I actually joined the church and was baptized - and, my God, did I take it seriously! I was a zealot who irritated every one of my third-grade friends. They didn't beat me up, but I got labeled the preacher girl.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
I ran into the preacher, said God was on my side, then I ran into the hangman.
Neil Young
Image
I am frankly sick and tired of the political preachers telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in A, B, C, and D. Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?
Barry Goldwater
Image
Can you worship a God who isn't obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?
Francis Chan
Image
We have preachers and savants who dilate endlessly on the sanctity of family and childhood but who tolerate a system in which a casual observer can correlate a child's social origin with its physical well-being.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
Jesus was certainly not a mere enunciator of permanent truths, like the modern liberal preacher on the contrary He was conscious of standing at the turning-point of the ages, when what had never been was now to come to be.
John Gresham Machen
Image
We need the wisdom of women, and the experience of married people and parents, and the depth of the contemplative if we are to be formed as preachers.
Timothy Radcliffe
Image
It is imperative that preachers of today learn how to declare the spritual law of God for, until we learn how to wound consciences, we shall have no wounds to bind with Gospel bandages.
Walter J Chantry
Image
We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
Be a communicator, not a self-righteous proselytizer or preacher. Many people are only concerned with expressing themselves, which isn't necessarily communication.
Sharon Gannon
Image
I have met many Roman Catholic theologians who will emphasize as much as any good Protestant preacher that everything comes from the love and grace of God.
N. T. Wright
Image
Whenever you find a preacher who takes the Bible allegorically and figuratively...that preacher is preaching an allegorical gospel which is no gospel. I thank God for a literal Christ, for a literal salvation. There is literal sorrow, literal death, literal Hell, and, thank God, there is a literal Heaven.
J. Frank Norris

You can be pitiful, or you can be powerful, but you can't be both
Joyce Meyer
Image
I've listened to Preachers, I've listened to fools. I've worshipped the dropouts, who've made their own rules.
Ozzy Osbourne
Image
Virtue has many preachers, but few martyrs.
Claude Adrien Helvetius
Image
Judge not the preacher for he is thy judge: If thou mislike him, thou conceiv'st him not. God calleth preaching folly. Do not grudge To pick out treasures from an earthen pot. The worst speak something good. If all want sense, God takes a text, and preaches patience.
George Herbert
Image
The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.
Dwight L. Moody
