The British churchgoer prefers a severe preacher because he thinks a few home truths will do his neighbors no harm.
George Bernard Shaw
Image
In church, sacred music would make believers of us all — but preachers can be counted on to restore the balance.
Mignon McLaughlin
Image
Too often preachers want to deal with people simply at the level of publicly accessible reason. We participate with them in their own epistemology. But this is not New Testament preaching. We have a message that is not from this world it is from God. We don't know it by our own cleverness we know it because God has revealed it.
Mark Dever

As a preacher I just feel like I have to be honest I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't. I think that's why I've been able to reach some people who don't feel comfortable in churches. I do make mistakes and I can be goofy and quirky sometimes. I'm not the world's greatest speaker. I don't try to hide that.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.

Before you leave the house, you need to make up your mind that you’re going to stay positive and enjoy the day no matter what comes your way. You have to decide ahead of time.
Joel Osteen
Image
God is looking for broken men who have judged themselves in the light of the cross of Christ. When He wants anything done, He takes up men who have come to the end of themselves, whose confidence is not in themselves, but in God.
Henry Allen Ironside
Image
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live while you live, the epicure would say, And seize the pleasures of the present day Live while you live the sacred preacher cries, And give to God each moment as it flies. Lord, in my views let both united be I live to pleasure when I live to thee.
Philip Doddridge

I would rather win souls than be the greatest king or emperor on earth I would rather win souls than be the greatest general that ever commanded an army I would rather win souls than be the greatest poet, or novelist, or literary man who ever walked the earth. My one ambition in life is to win as many as possible.
R. A. Torrey

I've often heard it said a preacher might learn with a comedian for a teacher.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Preacher is a book that somehow allows me time by its settling on it's characters, that sort of modern gothic western feel. You're not likely to see the boat veering too far from that.
Garth Ennis
Image
Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount, But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts.
Bob Dylan
Image
That's the trouble with you preachers, he said. You've all got too good to believe in anything, and he drove off with a look of disgust and righteousness.
Flannery O'Connor
Image
The humorous writer professes to awaken and direct your love, your pity, your kindness--your scorn for untruth, pretension, imposture....He takes upon himself to be the week-day preacher.
Mark Twain
Image
There is a strain of loneliness infecting many Christians, which only the presence of God can cure.

My dad was a Presbyterian minister. Yes, I am one of those dreaded P.K.s - Preachers Kids. Be afraid.
Libba Bray

If preachers decide to preach about hope, let them preach out of what they themselves hope for.
Frederick Buechner
Image
If the Holy Spirit guides us, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.
George Muller
Image
We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.
Aiden Wilson Tozer

The best evangelists, the best preachers, the best teachers are desperate people.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
People have an idea that the preacher is an actor on a stage and they are the critics, blaming or praising him. What they don't know is that they are the actors on the stage he (the preacher) is merely the prompter standing in the wings, reminding them of their lost lines.
Soren Kierkegaard
Image
One Harlem preacher likens us to the pink plastic spoons at Baskin Robbins: we give the world a foretaste of what lies ahead, the vision of the Biblical prophets. In a world gone astray we should be activity demonstrating here and now God's will for the planet.
Philip Yancey
Image
The stupid texts of the Bible - from which, be the talents of the preacher what they may, only stupid sermons can be preached.
