 I don't like those mighty fine preachers who round off their sentences so beautifully that they are sure to roll off the sinner's conscience. Author: Assorted Authors |
| I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men. Author: Richard Baxter |
| Prayer must carry on our work as much as preaching; he preacheth not heartily to his people that will not pray for them. Author: Richard Baxter |

| It requires as much reflection and wisdom to know what is not to be put into a sermon, as what is. Author: Richard Cecil |

| God the Holy Ghost calls for crusaders. How many ministers would be in church if it were not their job? The answer will be found in the number who never go to the job that is outside. Author: Samuel Chadwick |
| Many men affect to despise fear, and in preaching resent any appeal to it; but not to fear when there is occasion is as great a weakness as to fear unduly without reason. God implanted fear in the soul as truly as He implanted hope or courage. Author: James H. Aughey |

| But how much self-reliance obtains in Christian service. More effort is exerted in planning and arranging than in waiting upon the Lord. Double is the time expended on preparing the division and conclusion of a sermon than on receiving the power from on high because there is so much trust in the flesh. Author: Watchman Nee |
| The book of Acts is the best aid in approaching our work. We do not find there anyone consecrating himself as a preacher nor anyone deciding to do the Lord's work by making himself a missionary or a pastor. What we do see is the Holy Spirit Himself appointing and sending men out to do the work. Author: Watchman Nee |
| The gospel we preach must not be just something we hear from men or read from books or even conceived through our meditation. Unless it is delivered to us by God, it can serve no spiritual utility. Author: Watchman Nee |
