"That's the essence of preaching (Jer 2:13). The best way to glorify an
inexhaustible fountain is to keep on drinking and to keep on being so satisfied with that fountain that nothing can draw you away. Therefore the task of preaching is to display the all-satisfying glories of God in such a way that the power of all competing pleasures is broken and God Himself holds people captive".John Piper - "Preaching as Worship: Meditations on Expository Exultation" - Trinity Evangelical Divinity Journal - 16NS (1995) 29-45
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
