"Preaching is not the performance of an hour.……" — Edward McKendree Bounds
"Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows."
