Quotes: Like One Amazed

Ought not preachers themselves to live on the great fundamental truths of the gospel? Ought not our souls to be continually fed from them, and our hearts continually thrilling with them? Ought not a fresh glow to come over our hearts every day as we think of Him who loved us, and washed us from sin in His blood, and made us kings and priests unto God and to the Father?

Give us the plainest preacher that ever was; let him preach nothing that a whole congregation do not know; but let him preach with a thrilling heart; let him preach like one amazed at the glory of his message; let him preach in the tone of wonder and gratitude which becomes sinners to realise the great work of redemption, - not only will the congregation listen with interest; they will listen with profound impression.W.G.Blaike
