The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not, 'What a lovely sermon!' but 'I will do something.'

He that preaches war is the devil's chaplain

No preacher is listened to but time, which gives us the same train and turn of thought that elder people have in vain tried to put into our heads before

To preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers

Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God.

Only the sinner has a right to preach
