The preacher's task is to declare what God has said, explain the meaning, and establish the implications so that no one will mistake its relevance.
Alistair BeggOur words and our works are evidence that our profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is true.
Alistair BeggI listen to some of you guys out there, hyper-reformed boys, you're concerned if you preach the gospel to the wrong person, the wrong person might get saved. So you don't want to preach it too good, 'well wait a minute, I don't think you should've been getting saved, I'm not sure you're in the group.' What do you mean in the group! If you breath you're in the group! If you have ears to hear you're in the group! And if you choose not to respond it's your own fault, not God's.
Alistair BeggUnless the Bible is first taught to our own hearts, then we have no basis from which to teach it to others at all.
