Prepare your heart before you enter the pulpit. More than that, prepare your heart before you enter the study. Preacher you must pray. As @hbcharlesjr says, “It happens after prayer”.

As far as preaching from Lord’s Day to Lord’s Day goes I have always held Martyn Lloyd-Jones words dear: “We must preach to both the plough boy and the lawyer, and that is our lot.”

[Matthew Johnston @iMatthewJ]

The Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet they are not three almighties, but one Almighty.

This is the catholic [universal] faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.

— Athanasian Creed, 500 A.D

[Peter Sammons @DrDanger1689]

"One word of God can do more than ten thousand words of men to relieve a distressed soul." - Flavel

[Pulpit & Preaching @PulpitPreach]

Preaching is a sacred duty. Therefore give yourself to the pursuit of holiness.

Preaching is a sacred duty. Therefore, give yourself to the continued gaze upon the glory of God revealed in the Person of Christ.

Your people need you to be doing both so as to feed them.

We must have both affirmations and denials as Christians. — Martin Luther

[Mike Riccardi @MikeRiccardi_]

“Wonderful are the effects when a crucified, glorious Savior is presented to the eye of faith. This sight destroys the love of sin.”

— John Newton

Francis Schaeffer:

“The humanists push for ‘freedom,’ but having no Christian consensus to contain it, that ‘freedom’ leads to chaos or to slavery under the state (or under an elite). (1/2)

[Mike Riccardi @MikeRiccardi_]

“Free will I have often heard of, but I have never seen it. I have always met with will, and plenty of it, but it has either been led captive by sin or held in the blessed bonds of grace.”

— Charles Spurgeon

[Matthew Johnston @iMatthewJ]

Self preservation will mark the unfaithful. — @costiwhinn, on the year(s) ahead.

[Matthew Johnston @iMatthewJ]

Let’s all preach Jesus more in our sermons. The Person, the work, and the glories.

[Mike Riccardi @MikeRiccardi_]

Christ does not call us to impute the guilt of historical sins to people who had nothing to do with them and who find them entirely, horrifically repugnant. 1/

[T. S. Sinclair @_TSSinclair]

[Matthew Johnston @iMatthewJ]

We have been given everything from the Father — by way of the Son — so that we might return to the Father a life of worship and praise which then illustrates just how worthy the Son, who was sent from the Father, actually is.

[Matthew Johnston @iMatthewJ]

As it pertains to justification, pastors must not, may not, and can not, preach synergism.
