Quotes by Matthew D. Kim  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Prayer is intimately connected with the Holy Spirit and preaching. The whole process of sermon preparation should be saturated in prayer, or “prayer drenched.”34 Ajith Fernando says, “Sometimes when we are in the middle of preparing for an assignment, such as writing a sermon, God may prompt us to stop the preparation so as to prepare ourselves. When we sense this need, it would be wise to stop immediately and go to prayer.”35”
Matthew D. Kim, Finding Our Voice: A Vision for Asian North American Preaching

“The story goes that President Abraham Lincoln was once attending a prayer breakfast when he was encouraged by one minister to pray that God would be on our side. President Lincoln nuanced the prayer differently, responding that we should pray that we are on God’s side.”
Matthew D. Kim, A Little Book for New Preachers: Why and How to Study Homiletics
