"Church Growth Spurgeon Style: Preaching Without Notes"

Preaching the Word
"Making Known the Son,
In the Presence of the Father,
Through the Power of the Spirit,
According to the Revelation of the Word." (G. Albert Darst)

"Preaching has been considered to be an art and a science; an art because it is fashioned according to the Preacher, and a science because it has Divine established laws to follow."  (Ron Tottingham)
"Preaching: the transmission of a Person through a person to a company of persons."  (Anonymous)
"When I get to hear a man preach, I want him to act like he's fighting bumblebees."  (Abraham Lincoln)
"Think yourself empty; read yourself full; write yourself clear; pray yourself clean; get in the pulpit and let yourself go!"  (W.H. Griffith Thomas)
"Preach as though Christ were crucified yesterday, rose from the dead today, and is coming again tomorrow."  (Anonymous)
"I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men."  (Richard Baxter)
"Revival will come in the pew when there is revival in the pulpit.  Many preachers do not hear themselves.  It's time for preachers to consider the presentation of their sermons."
"Gone are the days of the pastor preaching themes of Heaven sweet and Hell hot, life short and death sure!" (Shelton Smith)
 

This quote was given by a former Nazi SS officer about Simon Wiesenthal, the post WWII Nazi hunter.  Though I don't endorse the source, oh that this could be said of Baptist preachers!

"[The trouble with Wiesenthal] is that he believes in what he says, thinks everything out in advance, and then tells it to you in the clearest possible way.  He is too well prepared for all the answers and arguments you may have."
