The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.

An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.

It is debatable which is causing us more harm - hot-headed ignorance or cold-hearted intellectualism.

It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.

Popularity has killed more prophets than persecution.

When a man makes alliance with the Almighty, giants look like grasshoppers.

I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.
