The Bible does not say we should aim at numbers but rather urges us faithfully to proclaim God's message in the boldness of the Holy Spirit. This will build God's church God's way.

Chuck Swindoll

If I ever wrote a book on preaching, it would contain three words: Preach the Word. Get rid of all the other stuff that gets you sidetracked; preach the Word.

When intimidated by who's sitting in the audience, we should remember the King of Kings is also here, and it's his message.

J. Vernon McGee

Sermonettes produce Christianettes.

In my opinion, the greatest sin in the church of Jesus Christ in this generation is ignorance of the Word of God.

R.C. Sproul

Advice to aspiring ministers: Get in the Word. Stay in the Word. Master the Word. And for heavens sake, preach the Word.

You are required to believe, to preach, and to teach what the Bible says is true, not what you want the Bible to say is true.

I think the greatest weakness in the church today is that almost no one believes that God invests His power in the Bible. Everyone is looking for power in a program, in a methodology, in a technique, in anything and everything but that in which God has placed it--His Word. He alone has the power to change lives for eternity, and that power is focused on the Scriptures.

Charles Spurgeon

You and I cannot be useful if we want to be sweet as honey in the mouths of men. God will never bless us if we wish to please men, that they may think well of us. Are you willing to tell them what will break your own heart in the telling and break theirs in the hearing? If not, you are not fit to serve the Lord. You must be willing to go and speak for God, though you will be rejected.

Billy Sunday

The backslider likes the preaching that wouldn't hit the side of a house, while the real disciple is delighted when the truth brings him to his knees.

Dwight L. Moody

The scriptures are given not to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.

Adrian Rogers

I'm a nobody telling everybody about Somebody who can save anybody.

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Preaching has very largely become a profession. Instead of real Christian sermons we are given secondhand expositions of psychology. The preachers say they give the congregations what they ask for! What a terrible condemnation both of the preachers themselves & their congregations!

Leonard Ravenhill

If Jesus preached the same message ministers preach today, He would have never been crucified.

J.I. Packer

We complain today that ministers do not know how to preach; but is it not equally true that our congregations do not know how to hear?

K.P. Yohannan

If you want to meet the needs of the poor in this world, there is no better place to start than by preaching the Gospel.

Alistair Begg

It takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian.

John Stott

Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
