Doctrine should be such as should make men in love with the lesson, and not with the teacher.<\/p>\n
Francis Bacon<\/i><\/p>\n
Every sermon should be an agony of soul, a passion to beget Christ in the souls of men.<\/p>\n
John Chrysostom<\/i><\/p>\n
People want to be comforted. They need consolation \u2013 really need it, and do not merely long for it.<\/p>\n
R.W. Dale<\/i><\/p>\n
The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, \u201cWhat a lovely sermon!\u201d but, \u201cI will do something!\u201d<\/p>\n
Francis of Sales<\/i><\/p>\n
Preaching is thirty minutes in which to raise the dead.<\/p>\n
John Ruskin<\/i><\/p>\n
To humble the sinner,<\/p>\n
to exalt the Savior,<\/p>\n
and to promote holiness.<\/p>\n
Charles Simeon<\/i><\/p>\n
Some are dead; you must rouse them.<\/p>\n
Some are troubled; you must comfort them.<\/p>\n
Others are burdened; you must point them to the burden-bearer.<\/p>\n
Still more are puzzled; you must enlighten them.<\/p>\n
Still others are careless and indifferent; you must warn and woo them.<\/p>\n
