“The key to preaching, then, is to make the message of the text obvious. Help people to see it and feel it. Help people to understand the text. Paul is talking about what I would call ‘expository preaching’, in which the message of the text is the message of the sermon.”
Gary Millar, Saving Eutychus: How to preach God's word and keep people awake

“I could be wrong, but I strongly suspect that preachers are praying less today too. They (we) are certainly talking less about prayer than, say, 20 years ago. And while it’s true that there has been a significant resurgence of biblical preaching, I’m not sure this has been accompanied by a resurgence in praying—and especially not prayer about preaching. Gradually,”
J. Gary Millar, Saving Eutychus: How to preach God's word and keep people awake

“All religions are not the same—or to put it another way, Christianity and all other world faiths are contradictory and incompatible. Either Christianity is true, or it isn’t. That’s why you can’t be a Christian Buddhist. That’s like saying you are a vegan who likes nothing better than a bacon sandwich.”
