“This reflects the very low state of doctrinal preaching in our churches.”
Al Mohler
“The doctrine of equality! There exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'”
Billy Graham
“It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.”
St. Francis of Assisi
“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
“When the doctrine of allegiance to party can utterly up-end a man's moral constitution and make a temporary fool of him besides, what excuse are you going to offer for preaching it, teaching it, extending it, perpetuating it? Shall you say, the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? Shall you also say it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter, and become a mouthing lunatic, besides?”
Mark Twain
“Did St. Francis preach to the birds? Whatever for? If he really liked birds he would have done better to preach to the cats.”
Rebecca West
