On Memorial Day I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets who started preaching peace men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.

We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching.

If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel you hinder people from getting to reality.

Religion can make it worse. Are you supposing that if people were encouraged to believe in a transcendent reality and to be encouraged by grand rituals and music and preaching to love their neighbors then they would put jealousy and frustration aside?

Today for the first time in history a Bishop of Rome sets foot on English soil. This fair land once a distant outpost of the pagan world has become through the preaching of the Gospel a beloved and gifted portion of Christ's vineyard.

I can't understand people calling themselves religious and being hateful. If a preacher is preaching hate to fear God that's not religion that's not helping humanity that's organizing an army to defeat somebody.

I think that my preaching style and many of my ideas and ideals about faith are based in both Pentecostal and Baptist background.

I'm a private guy and you don't want to be out there preaching to people. But faith leads you in the decisions you make. You don't always pick the right path but it's there in your conscience.

The devil had as good have let Paul alone for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open and poor sinners come forth.
