Preacher, Present Christ’s Character and Beauty!
It is the supreme prerogative of the preacher, not to prove that God exists, but to unfold His character and beauty.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Persecution and the Church
Persecution is the world’s testimony to the Church’s purity. A wolf will not worry a painted sheep; a cat will not seize a toy mouse. The world may despise, but it will not persecute, a counterfeit Christian; it may scorn, but it will not burn, a hypocrite. Crucifixion is the evidence of Christliness.
F. W. Boreham, The Heavenly Octave (New York: The Abingdon Press, 1936), 110
Return to First Principles
“Prophetic” words that sound like they were spoken yesterday!
“The only salvation for our civilization is going back; not so much going back to former conditions as going back to First Principles.”
Ring Heaven’s Doorbell and Run!
Many of us in our praying are like nasty little boys who ring front door bells and run away before anyone answers.
Amazing Grace
The ultimate test of our spirituality is the measure of our amazement at the grace of God.
Preaching Gives Light
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure the truth.
Thomas Watson, The Beatitudes: An Exposition of Matthew 5.1-12 (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 2014), 156.
