Too much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion.

I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world Picture Quote #1

We are the salt of the earth, mind you, not the sugar. Our ministry is to truly cleanse and not just to change the taste Picture Quote #1

A preacher who is too big for a little crowd would be too little for a big crowd Picture Quote #1

If you can’t pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean Picture Quote #1
