Preaching Christ

Pastor Ron Dorin sent me these quotations, that declare that all adoration and attention toward Christ is the most blessed bent.

Charles Spurgeon "A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception and a crime in execution... When we preach Jesus Christ, then we are not putting out the plates, and the knives, and the forks, for the feast, but we are handing out the bread itself... (Let us) preach Christ to sinners if we cannot preach sinners to Christ... I wish that our ministry - and mine especially - might be tied and tethered to the cross."

Samuel Rutherford "Next to Christ I have one joy, to preach Christ my Lord"

Richard Baxter "If we can but teach Christ to our people, we teach them all"

William Perkins, "Preach one Christ, by Christ, to the praise of Christ."
