He had nothing to say and said it endlessly.

Oh, if we did but study half as much to affect and amend our own hearts, as we do those of our hearers, it would not be with many of us as it is.
Richard Baxter
The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, “What a lovely sermon!” but, “I will do something.”
Billy Graham
I believe that there are too many accommodating preachers … Jesus Christ did not say, “Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right.” The gospel is something completely different. In fact, it is directly opposed to the world.
C.S. Lewis
How is it that there are not many who are led by sermons to forsake open sin? Do you know what I think? That it is because preachers have too much worldly wisdom. They are not like the Apostles, flinging it all aside and catching fire with love of God; and so their flames give little heat.
Teresa of Avila
