2 Corinthians 5:20

We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: We implore you on Christ's behalf,
Be Reconciled To God

Earnestness in Preaching

"You think we are too earnest with you to leave your sins and accept of Christ; but when you come to die you will see the meaning of it. We see death at your backs."


- Matthew Henry (1662-1714), on preaching to his congregation. Being noted for his warm zeal in preaching, he defended himself saying, "I cannot help it; for I believe the things I speak to be true and great, and I would be in my work as one in earnest."
