Great preaching always depends upon great themes.

Anyone who thinks that he can live the Christian life himself is proclaiming that he is not a Christian.

The Christian is confronted by two ways only, and if we are not on the strait and narrow way, we are on the wide and broad way.

There are people who have an almost perfect knowledge of the letter of the Scripture but have never known the message of the Scripture.

I sometimes think that the whole art of the Christian life is the art of asking questions.

There is nothing more hateful than a man who deliberately tries to play on the surface and superficial emotions of people. I have no interest in that except to denounce it.

The way to love God is to begin to know God’s love to you.

If my preaching of this cross is not an offense to the natural man, I am misrepresenting it.

The Gospel edifies and evangelizes at the same time.

Like many of my fellow preachers I acknowledge that my best and severest critic is my wife.
