Preaching Quotes
-
Preaching that is boring is preaching that talks first about us and then only tangentially about God. Preaching that is faithful is preaching that talks first about God and then only secondarily and derivatively talks about us. The God of Scripture is so much more interestingly than we are.
William Henry Willimon
-
If you would move me with your preaching, or with your praying, or with your singing, first be moved yourself.
Alexander Whyte
-
The world is dying for want, not of good preaching, but of good hearing.
George Dana Boardman Pepper
-
No one will be offended if we tell them that they are good people who could be a little better. The offense comes when we tell them that they - and we - are ungodly people who cannot impress God or escape his tribunal. Until our preaching of the law has exposed our hearts and God's holiness at that profound level, our hearers will never flee to Christ alone for safety even if they come to us for advice.
Michael Horton
-
My biggest thing about being a role model is whatever I'm preaching, I'm practicing.
Gigi Hadid
-
No amount of preaching, exhortation, sympathy, benevolence, will render the condition of our working women what it should be, so long as the kitchen and needle are substantially their only resources.
Horace Greeley
-
I will tell you what this people need, with regard to preaching; you need, figuratively, to have it rain pitchforks, tines downwards, from this pulpit, Sunday after Sunday. Instead of the smooth, beautiful, sweet, still, silk-velvet-lipped preaching, you should have sermons like peals of thunder, and perhaps we then can get the scales from our eyes.
Brigham Young
-
I need an army. I need people out there who are either preaching with me to different audiences that I can't get to or who are implementing the work and helping people actually learn their why or practice their why or implement their why because I don't do that.
Simon Sinek
-
The audience usually has to be with you, I'm afraid. I always regarded myself as not even preaching to the converted, I was titillating the converted.
Tom Lehrer
-
Remember, there are only a few model preachers. We have read of only one perfect Model, and He was crucified many centuries ago.
Charles Henry Fowler
