If you're asking your kids to exercise then you better do it too. Practice what you preach.

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

Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

There really are three types of 'religious' movies: the ones that make fun of it the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.

I want to host a religious show. I'm sure nobody will be wanting the 11 o'clock spot on Sunday morning. I think we should really get some of our own preachers and preach that gay is good. And we'd have a great choir.

Wouldn't it be great if you could only get AIDS by giving money to television preachers?

If there is no hell a good many preachers are obtaining money under false pretenses.

I've never preached one sermon on money on just finances. I want to stay away from it.

I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life.

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?

Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach but it must do both if it would live forever.

And you know you try and preach to them there's more to this game than just walking up to home plate swinging the bat fielding a ground ball. There's some dedication in it some love you've got to put into this work.

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places.

My father was my main influence. He was a preacher but he was also a history and political science teacher and since he was my hero I wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a teacher.

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.
