The enemy of the human race...invented a means never before heard of, by which he might hinder the preaching of God's word of Salvation to the people.
— Pope John Paul II
Where the Bible is esteemed as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, preaching can flourish. But where the Bible is treated merely as a record of valuable religious insight, preaching dies.
— John Piper
There must not only be good preaching, but good hearing.
