“All pulpits must passionately declare Christ to be the eternal Son of the living God, the only Savior of sinners. All preaching must boldly announce Him as the reigning Lord of heaven and earth. He must be fearlessly announced as the One before whom every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. All preaching must assert that this Jesus is the final Judge of every human life. To fulfill this sacred duty, every preacher must proclaim the full counsel of God. Every doctrine in Scripture must be delivered. Every truth must be taught. Every sin must be exposed. Every warning must be issued. And every promise must be offered. If God is to bless our preaching, the supreme majesty of Jesus Christ Himself must be expounded in our sermons. All the lines of our preaching must intersect at this highest pinnacle—Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”

Everything in the Christian life revolves around Jesus Christ. Simply put, Christianity is Christ.”

“Un sermón sin Cristo es una cosa horrible, espantosa. Es un pozo vacío; una nube sin lluvia; un árbol dos veces muerto, arrancado de raíz. Es algo abominable dar a los hombres piedras en lugar de pan y escorpiones en lugar de huevos, pero es lo que hacen los que no predican a Jesús. ¡Un sermón sin Cristo es como hablar de un pedazo de pan sin nada de harina! ¿Cómo podría alimentar el alma? Los hombres mueren y perecen porque Cristo no está presente.”
