Mark 9:7 (ESV)
And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”

Paraphrase of Julian Freeman
Preachers should be like good cooks; always snacking on the food we prepare for others.

Colossians 2:8 (ESV)
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (ESV)
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

John Calvin
If we were as teachable as we should be, Christ’s ministers could guide us merely by pointing out the right way. But as things are, sane advice and mere moderate exhortations are not enough to shake us out of our lethargy. Thus there is need for stronger reproofs and exhortations.

Richard Baxter
I preached … as a dying man to dying men.

1 Timothy 5:1 (ESV)
Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers

1 Peter 5:1–2 (ESV)
So I exhort the elders among you …: shepherd the flock of God that is among you

1 Thessalonians 2:12 (ESV)
we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

2 Timothy 2:1 (ESV)
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,

Steve Timmis
I think success [in ministry] is … seeing the Word of God taken by the Spirit of God in the lives of the people of God and just changing them, making them more like Christ, and [non-believers] being attracted by the kind of corporate life [of the church] and seeing the Gospel as the only explanation for what is going on and them responding in repentance and faith.

Romans 5:10 (ESV)
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
