“The Christian preacher has nothing to hide. The Devil is in the business of hiding. The preacher reveals. The Devil obscures. The preacher clarifies. The Devil dulls the mind and heart. The preacher shines and burns. He is ashamed of nothing in his message. And this has everything to do with logic and right reason.”
― John Piper, Expository Exultation: Christian Preaching as Worship

“The Holy Spirit has consecrated us as temples of God. We, therefore, must let the glory of God shine through us, and we must not pollute ourselves with sin.”
― John Calvin, A Little Book on the Christian Life

“Once we’ve concluded that this earthly life of ours is a gift of divine mercy—and grateful recollection of this is our obligation—then we rightly stoop to consider this life’s miserable condition. And by such consideration we disentangle ourselves from excessive desire for this life, which— as has been said—is our natural inclination.”
― John Calvin, A Little Book on the Christian Life

“Preaching should be viewed as one of the main tasks of the shepherd, not something that defines you.”
― Julius J. Kim, Preaching the Whole Counsel of God: Design and Deliver Gospel-Centered Sermons
