I was born into a family of preachers.

Preachers denounce sin as if it was available to everyone.

Preachers are not called to be politicians but soul winners.

We're not preachers, but we say, 'Let's try and change things.'

Both my parents are Methodist preachers, I grew up in a church.

The world looks at preachers out of church to know what they mean in it.

My granddad and great granddad were Baptist preachers from Western Kentucky.

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

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

Once Playboy came to me, all the preachers ran. I needed to pose in Playboy to make money.

I am growing more and more aware that all too often we preachers aim at nothing and hit it.

Congregations shaped by the Scriptures generally have preachers who are shaped by the Scriptures.

I got a family I got to answer to. I got kids... my older parents and my preachers and everybody.

A lot of preachers' kids are some of the most rebellious kids in the world. I never was like that.

Now, I don't mind making fun of those preachers who steal money from people, they kind of deserve it.

The women and the men are teachers and preachers in my family, and a little bit of both those fell on me.

Coming from a family of preachers, the idea of giving back has been part of my life as long as I can remember.

Sometimes I think Jesus can't wait until we preachers finish our boring sermons. He can't wait to heal people.

Like Theresa May, I regularly find myself infuriated by the rantings of Anjem Choudary and other hate preachers.

Preachers prepare with this fear: 'Am I going to be able to fill the time?' The audience never worries about that.

Because we are continually growing in the Lord, preachers and lay people alike must be open to the Lord's correction.

Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.

There's this idea supposedly that we preachers are supposed to walk about with sandals and ride bicycles. That's nonsense.

Every guy I touch, it's the same result. When I land, it's like seeing one of those preachers on TV. When I touch them, they fall out.

Drugs are in every walk of life - doctors, lawyers, preachers, the guy who works for IBM, teenagers on the street, teenagers in school.

As preachers of the gospel of Jesus, do not expect worldly honors: these Jesus Christ neither took to himself, nor gave to his disciples.

The preachers who gain mighty results for God are the men who have prevailed in their pleadings with God ere venturing to plead with men.

My experience in relation to taking on the preachers of hate was saying to them it's compatible being British, being Western, being Muslim.

Preachers in pulpits talked about what a great message is in the book. No matter what you do, somebody always imputes meaning into your books.

Then my extended family, there are preachers and evangelists, former priests. So I have quite a bit of history with Church, religion and spirituality.

Television preachers extract money from the poor to live in a style and to indulge in shameful acts which equal or outdo the worst of the Renaissance Popes.

My whole family is spiritual. My grandmother, grand aunt, cousins, they're all preachers and pastors. Spirituality is a part of my family, from generations ago.

Positiveness is a good quality for preachers and speakers because, whoever shares his thoughts with the public will convince them as he himself appears convinced.

The hired preachers of all sects, creeds, and religions, never do, and never can, teach any thing but what is in conformity with the opinions of those who pay them.

Because we employ no professional preachers, it means that every sermon or lesson in church is given by a regular member - women and men, children and grandparents.

The prosperity gospel and its purveyors are worldwide and account for the rapid growth of Pentecostalism, the global religious movement prosperity preachers come from.

There are individuals who have never done anything for Jesus Christ, and I have no doubt there are preachers as well, who have never done anything for the God Almighty.

We need preachers. We need men who believe that this task and women who believe that this task is so great that not all the strategies in the world can make one soul converted.

I became aesthetically obsessed with language. And 'literary artist' - poet and novelist - is a calling. You are called to it the way preachers are called to preaching the gospel.

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.

Duplicity in matters of religion is not confined to Pakistan, but it hurts the most in societies where debate on religion is asphyxiated and preachers of hate have become keepers of faith.

There was a lot of Southern Baptist preachers and some yelling ones but mostly we had a pastor who didn't scream and I found a lot of comfort and joy and peace as a child hearing the Bible.

In pre-movie days, the business of peddling lies about life was spotty and unorganized. It was carried on by the cheaper magazines, dime novels, the hinterland preachers and whooping politicians.

Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors that they are ready to repeat their lessons as often as we please.

Most churches are run by preachers who went to seminaries, who decided to be preachers when they were 18, 19, 20 years old. These preachers never met a payroll. They don't know how the world works.

Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please.

I remember going to see Billy Graham in a cinema in Glasgow, and he was down in London. I used to go and hear preachers, and then we always went to church and Sunday school. That mattered a lot to me.

I came from an intellectual family. Most were doctors, preachers, teachers, businessmen. My grandfather was a small businessman. His father was an abolitionist doctor, and his father was an immigrant from Germany.

It is written that there shall be a separation, and the sheep shall be separated from the goats. The other preachers have the sheep; I have the goats. And I have a few sheep among my goats, but they are very ragged.

I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.
