Evangelism is when the Gospel, which is good news, is preached or presented to all people.

PowerPoint may not be of any use for you in a presentation, but it may liberate you in another way, an artistic way. Who knows.

Truly, there is a Christian note which makes the whole World vibrate, like an immense gong, in the divine Christ. This note is unique and universal, and in it alone consists the Gospel.

There is a power in God’s gospel beyond all description.

I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I’ve never been interested in that.

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap – let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.

Traveling around the world and preaching for over 70 years did not give much time for reflection.

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.

What’s so powerful about the Psalms are, as well as they’re being gospel and songs of praise, they are also the blues.

The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.

We make the Sabbath a delight when we teach the gospel to our children.

It’s considered acceptable in our culture to approach perfect strangers, as often or not who may be in extremis, and evangelise. I don’t see why that’s considered a normal thing.

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.

The big message of gospel is that you don’t have to keep fighting the universe; you can stop, and the universe is quite good to you. There is a loss of ego.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life.

I want get across to not just the church world. I want to get outside those walls to everyday people.

It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.

I still enjoy watching a batter successfully cross home plate, but nothing thrills me more than seeing the Holy Spirit at work in hearts as the Gospel is carried into stadiums, across the airwaves, and around the world.

I don’t want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.

I’m trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He’s for them and has a purpose.

If I wish to compose or write or pray or preach well, I must be angry. Then all the blood in my veins is stirred, and my understanding is sharpened.

Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond.

I used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.

Through the ages, many of His children have had access to the blessings of the gospel, but many more have not.

I have finally decided to write my book on the spiritual life. I mean to put down as simply as possible the sort of ascetical or mystical teaching that I have been living and preaching so long. I call it ‚Le Milieu Divin,‘ but I am being careful to include nothing esoteric and the minimum of explicit philosophy.

For a while… to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don’t want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen… I don’t want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.

Billy Graham is one of my great lifetime heroes. I think he epitomizes the essence of what a Christian leader should be. I have participated in some of his crusades a couple of times in Atlanta. I’ve seen the profound impact he’s had on me personally, and on other people who were not Christians and accepted Christ as Savior.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

Preaching is to much avail, but practice is far more effective. A godly life is the strongest argument you can offer the skeptic.

I do think that a minister who can preach a sermon without addressing sinners does not know how to preach.

Find new ways to spread the word of God to every corner of the world.

Have we been going up and down in business, and are those round about us as yet unaware of our Christian character? Have we never spoken to them the Word of Life? Lord, arouse us to a deep concern for all with whom we come in contact from day to day.

If you’re really satisfied with your position on something, you just say, ‚Hey;‘ you just very calmly present something.

The Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.

Society can overlook murder, adultery or swindling; it never forgives preaching of a new gospel.

I’ve been known to preach.

My mother told me, ‚Son, nobody else but God knows.‘ And that’s what I’m about – reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That’s what I do.

Winning the election is a good-news, bad-news kind of thing. Okay, now you’re the mayor. The bad news is, now you’re the mayor.

I believe that some of us who were kept by God a long while before we found Him love Him better perhaps than we should have done if we had received Him directly, and we can preach better to others – we can speak more of His loving-kindness and tender mercy.

How can one preach goodness and love to men without at the same time offering them an interpretation of the World that justifies this goodness and this love?

I’ve never preached one sermon on money, on just finances. I want to stay away from it.

I don’t believe in the war god of the Israelites. He’s a bogeyman. Jesus preached the golden rule, by and large.

My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten.

The Gospel has never changed.

I have never changed my message. I preach the Bible, and I preach it with authority.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.

Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.

I am amazed at the wonders of technology and am grateful for the ways in which we are able to use it to share the Gospel around the world.

I do know this… I seem to reach a lot of previously unchurched people. So many people have told me they never went to church until they heard our message of hope that God is a good God who desires to bless those who are faithful and obedient to Him through Jesus Christ.

Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.

I don’t have freedom in the United States to go into a public school and preach the Gospel, nor is a student free in a public school to pray, or a teacher free to read the Bible publicly to the students. At the same time, we have a great degree of freedom for which I am grateful.

Evangelicals can’t be closely identified with any particular party or person. We have to stand in the middle, to preach to all the people, right and left.

Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.

When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.
