“I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom...I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually.” PeopleKnowsMenWellsMayChildrenOrderTeachDeserveLet MePrivilegeScriptureKingdomsSermonsCelestialCorrectingOraclesChildren Of Men Author:Brigham Young
“Every accent, every emphasis, every modulation of voice, was so perfectly well turned and well placed, that, without being interested in the subject, one could not help being pleased with the discourse; a pleasure of much the same kind with that received from an excellent piece of music.

“The sermon was based on what he claimed was a well-known fact, that there were no Atheists in foxholes.

“Preachers are not sermon makers, but men makers and saint makers, and he only is well-trained for this business who has made himself a man and a saint. It is not great talents nor great learning nor great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God - men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it. These can mold a generation for God.” MenNeedsWellsMadeGenerationsTalentHolySaintHolinessMakersPreacherPreachingSermonsMoldFidelityPulpitGreat TalentHoly Life Book:Power Through Prayer Source: Power Through Prayer
