He who has ceased to learn has ceased to teach. He who no longer sows in the study will no more reap in the pulpit.
Depth in the word produces height in worship, length in ministry, and breadth in outreach.
God's grace is owed to no one, only His justice. Ask for mercy, what you do not deserve, not for justice, what you do deserve.
It is desperately essential in this hour that preachers recover a soaring vision of the supremacy of God. Life-changing, history-altering preaching will come only when pastors reclaim a high view of God's blazing holiness and are overshadowed by His absolute sovereignty. Towering thoughts of God's transcendent glory must captivate preachers' souls.
The blessing of heaven will not accompany the preaching that is done in a worldly manner.
Every decision and direction must come under this overarching goal of bringing glory to God.
It matters to God what is preached. And it matters to Him how it is preached. No man is free to preach whatever and however he so chooses.
Expository preaching consists in the explanation and application of a passage of Scripture. Without explanation it is not expository; without application it is not preaching.
You cannot have Christ for your Savior unless you also have Him as your Lord.
May I beg you carefully to judge every preacher, not by his gifts, not by his elocutionary powers, not by his status in society, not by the respectability of his congregation, not by the prettiness of his church, but by this—does he preach the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation?
If you please God, it does not matter whom you displease. And if you displease Him, it does not matter whom you please.
As you preach, stay in the text, give honor to Christ and He will use you
We do not merely add Jesus Christ to our lives and continue in the same direction. Following Christ means we stop, turn around, and pursue Him.
Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty.
