On a Hill Far Away, and Not Like in the Song!
If the expositor finds himself out of sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way.

The Ministry of Reconciliation
The ministry of proclaiming the gospel is the ministry, not of testimony merely, but of reconciliation. It has as its object the actual reconciliation of the whole world.
The Ministry of Motherhood
A mother at a crib with a baby in her arms can be even more influential than a pastor in a pulpit, with a Bible in his hands.

Effective Pastoral Preaching
Pastoral preaching is effective when the listeners detect in the preacher’s manner a loving concern, and understanding heart, and a biblical approach to solving the problem.

The Joy of Preaching
It is always sweet preaching for me when I feel that I come forth in the name of my Master — when I do not come to tell you what ideas I have woven out of my own brain, nor to put attractive figures before you, as I would like to do sometimes — but rather, when I come to tell you just what my Lord would have you know, telling it as a message to you from your God and cherishing in my own heart His great love toward perishing sinners. Then, indeed, to minister is joy!
Pastor, Guard Your Heart
Pastor, you will never be good enough for your critics. Rest in your position in Christ today. — Matt
