Instead of preaching the good news that sinners can be made righteous in Christ and escape the wrath to come, the gospel has degenerated into the pretext that we can be happy in Christ and escape the hassles of life.
– Ray Comfort –
We all have to come to the realization that, as Jesus said “Apart from me, YOU CAN DO NOTHING”. We cannot preach with any effect upon the souls of men at anytime or at any place. But it is like falling off a log to Him. For Christ to win souls is a daily occurrence.
– Tim Gogerty –
Lost people matter to God, and so they must matter to us.

We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first.
– Oswald J. Smith –
It’s a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.

Thousands of preachers who would not dare cut Hell out of their Bibles, have cut it out of their preaching!
– Leonard Ravenhill –
What a noble gift it is, the power of playing upon the souls and wills of men, and rousing them to lofty purposes and holy deeds.
– Henry Drummond –
One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer –
You might as well expect to raise the dead by whispering in their ears, as hope to save souls by preaching to them, if it were not for the agency of the Spirit.
– Charles Spurgeon –
