When the minister rose to speak one Sunday morning, a little boy asked his mother, 'Mother, who is that man who stands so we can't see Jesus?'” MenLittlesChristianMotherJesusSpeakChristBoysMorningRoseChristian InspirationalMinistersSundayHungLittle BoysPulpitSunday Morning Author:Vance Havner
“The pulpit only "teaches" to be honest; the market-place "trains" to overreaching and fraud; and teaching has not a tithe of the efficiency of training. Christ never wrote a tract, but He went about doing good.” ChristTeachTeachingHonestExampleTrainingTrainBeing HonestFraudEfficiencyDoing GoodPulpitTitheOverreaching Book:Demands of the Age on Colleges Source: Demands of the Age on Colleges
“It is not the thinker who is the true king of men, as we sometimes hear it proudly said. We need one who will not only show, but be the Truth; who will not only point, but open and be the Way; who will not only communicate thought, but give, because He is the Life. Not the rabbi's pulpit, nor the teacher's desk, still less the gilded chairs of earthly monarchs, least of all the' tents of conquerors, are the throne of the true king. He rules from the cross.” MenWayNeedsGivingSaidStillsSometimesShowsChristTeacherKingsCrossesCommunicateChairsThinkerDesksThronesConquerorTentsMonarchsPulpitRabbiGilded Author:Alexander MacLaren
“If we did not know all His retorts by heart, if we had not taken the sting out of them by incessant repetition in the accents of the pulpit, and if we had not somehow got it into our heads that brains were rather reprehnsible, we should reckon Him among the greatest wits of all time. Nobody else, in three brief years, has achieved such an output of epigram.” IfsKnowsShouldYearsHeartThreeJesusChristBrainTakenJesus ChristWitAll TimeAccentsRepetitionPulpitOutputEpigramsIncessantRetorts Author:Dorothy L.
