Quotes about Preach
If the stories of our faith are such that you're too young to remember them, then you are not old enough to preach.
— Fred Craddock
Just because I'm a wren doesn't mean I can't preach an eagle message. Of course I can. Is that a lack of integrity if I preach something bigger than I can even feel, if I preach a message that I haven't even grown to? That's not a lack of integrity. That's accepting the call. That's what it is because there's too much at stake to do otherwise.
— Fred Craddock

I have always been thinking of the different ways in which Christianity is taught, and whenever I find one way that makes it a wider blessing than any other, I cling to that as the truest — I mean that which takes in the most good of all kinds, and brings in the most people as sharers in it. It is surely better to pardon too much, than to condemn too much. But I should like to see Mr. Farebrother and hear him preach.
— George Eliot

— Reinhard Bonnke
The highest service that men may attain to on earth is to preach the word of God. This service falls peculiarly to priests, and therefore, God more directly demands it of them.

we preach with the goal of spurring believers on in their maturity in Christ and of awakening nonbelievers to their need for the Savior.
— Mark Dever
Preach [and live] as if Jesus was crucified yesterday, rose from the dead today, and is returning tomorrow.
— Martin Luther
I only hope that He will let me preach to those who have never heard that name Jesus. What else is worthwhile in this life? I have heard of nothing better. 'Lord, send me!'
— Jim Elliot
Well, God does not mean for us to be passive. He means for us to fight the fight of faith—the fight for joy. And the central strategy is to preach the gospel to yourself. This is war. Satan is preaching for sure. If we remain passive, we surrender the field to him.
— John Piper
