“He was a preacher, too... and never charged nothing for his preaching, and it was worth it, too.”
Mark Twain
“The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'”
Billy Graham
“A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.”
Martin Luther
“Nothing means more to us than knowing that you all left here feeling you got your money's worth.”
Brad Paisley
“Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God.”
John E. Hines
“If there is no hell, a good many preachers are obtaining money under false pretenses.”
William A. Sunday
“To preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should believe that he is sent to those whom he is addressing at the moment, because God has among them those whom He is at the moment calling; it requires that the speaker should expect a response.”
Roland Allen
