Cannot Eternity Play Preach Preaching We Cannot

Charles Spurgeon
British - Priest
June 19, 1834 - January 31, 1892

You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.

Charles Spurgeon

We realized that there's a great need in many churches to use the power of the media...There are a lot of different ways to preach. You can preach by praising. You can preach by preaching sermons. You can preach by just giving someone food when they're hungry. There are people who will never darken a church door but they will come to see a play.

Patricia Mauceri

Only he is fit to preach who cannot avoid preaching, who feels that woe is upon him unless he preach the gospel

Charles Spurgeon

I do now most heartily desire to live but to exalt Jesus; to live preaching and to die preaching; to preach to perishing sinners till I drop down dead.

Henry Grattan Guinness

Ministers often preach about the Gospel instead of preaching the Gospel. They often preach about sinners instead of preaching to them.

Charles Grandison Finney

If I ever wrote a book on preaching, it would contain three words: Preach the Word. Get rid of all the other stuff that gets you sidetracked; preach the Word.

Charles R. Swindoll

God empowered him; and my father, when he stood to preach, he wasn't preaching his message, he was preaching God's message.

Franklin Graham

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

Leonard Ravenhill

The minister should preach as if he felt that although the congregation own the church, and have bought the pews, they have not bought him. His soul is worth no more than any other man's, but it is all he has, and he cannot be expected to sell it for a salary. The terms are by no means equal. If a parishioner does not like the preaching, he can go elsewhere and get another pew, but the preacher cannot get another soul.

Edwin Hubbel Chapin

Preaching Christian salvation is to preach moral absolutes. Hollywood no likey.

Steven Crowder

The motto of all true servants of God must be, ‘We preach Christ; and him crucified.’ A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.

Charles Spurgeon

Let us preach you, Dear Jesus, without preaching.... not by words but by our example.

Mother Teresa

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

Martin Luther

It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted their [the communists' ] terms. It was a deal; we preached and they beat us. We were happy preaching. They were happy beating us, so everyone was happy.

Richard Wurmbrand

Preaching affects men; prayer affects God. Preaching affects time; prayer affects eternity

Leonard Ravenhill

Our imagination so magnifies this present existence, by the power of continual reflection on it, and so attenuates eternity, by not thinking of it at all, that we reduce an eternity to nothingness, and expand a mere nothing to an eternity; and this habit is so inveterately rooted in us that all the force of reason cannot induce us to lay it aside.

Blaise Pascal
