So they say
PREACHERS ON PREACHING

What is the chief end of preaching?
I like to think it is this: It is to give men
and women a sense of God and His
presence.

Frederick Buechner

There’s a way to preach the Bible
unbiblically… You can use the Bible as
the springboard for all kinds of ideas,
can’t you? Look around in here and
find something that fits your fancy
and then launch a rocket off it. People
say, “That was amazing, wasn’t it?
Remarkable what he got out of that.”
Well of course it is because he put it in
before he got it out.

We complain today that ministers
do not know how to preach; but is it not
equally true that our congregations do
not know how to hear?

To preach Christ is to feed the soul,
to justify it, to set it free, and to save it,
if it believes the preaching.

Only once did God choose a
completely sinless preacher.

Martin Luther, On Christian Liberty

Martyn Lloyd-Jones
If preachers decide to preach about
hope, let them preach out of what they
themselves hope for.

JI Packer
