Sermons seldom convert sinners they sometimes goad them into more sin.
Salvador de Madariaga
Image
Sermons are like pie-crust, the shorter the better.
Austin O'Malley
Image
Sermons remain one of the last forms of public discourse where it is culturally forbidden to talk back.
Harvey Cox
Image
People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!
Rick Warren
Image
In Canada we have enough to do keeping up with two spoken languages ... so we just go right ahead and use English for literature, Scotch for sermons, and American for conversation.
Stephen Leacock
Image
After the advent of the written word, the masses who could not - or were not permitted to - read, were given sermons by the few who could.
Theodore Bikel
Image
Sufferings gladly borne for others convert more people than sermons.
Therese of Lisieux
Image
When I pastored a country church, a farmer didn't like the sermons I preached on hell. He said, Preach about the meek and lowly Jesus. I said, That's where I got my information about hell.
Vance Havner
Image
The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I preach on specific sins because people are not convicted by sermons on sin in general. It was when our Lord said to the Samaritan woman, 'Go call thy husband...' (John 4:16), that she really faced up to her sinfulness.
Vance Havner
Image
Some plague the people with too long sermons for the faculty of listening is a tender thing, and soon becomes weary and satiated.
Martin Luther
Image
Logic and sermons never convince, The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.
Walt Whitman
Image
The pious farmer, who ne'er misses pray'rs, With patience suffers unexpected rain He blesses Heav'n for what its bounty spares, And sees, resign'd, a crop of blighted grain. But, spite of sermons, farmers would blaspheme, If a star fell to set their thatch on flame.
Mary Wortley Montagu
Image
Some of the best things I have ever thought of I have thought of during bad sermons.
Wendell Berry
Image
All of my sermons become books. I've been accused of having no unpublished thought. I encourage pastors to do that. I think there are so many great sermons that never really get circulation.
Max Lucado
Image
A couple of flitches of bacon are worth fifty thousand Methodist sermons and religious tracts. They are great softeners of temper and promoters of domestic harmony.
William Cobbett
Image
I think I could do better in my approach to application. I think I could do better in preaching practical sermons.
Max Lucado
Image
I want to see religious instruction and sermons held in German in the mosques. The ideal, in my view, would be for imams to be trained in Germany and to speak our language, just as the Roman Catholic Church now holds mass in German and gave up Latin long ago.
Wolfgang Schauble
Image
All of my books began as sermons, so really the heart of the message is still the same.
Max Lucado
Image
The best lessons, the best sermons are those that are lived.
Yolanda King
Image
We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.
Oscar Wilde
Image
This fanaticism is what feeds terrorism. And this is precisely why Muslims must play an active role in opposing hate sermons and incitement to terrorism and extremism in their mosques.
Otto Schily
Image
To regard the excesses of the passions as maladies has so salutary an effect that this idea renders all moral sermons useless.
Pierre-Claude-Victor Boiste
