Recently I attended a Pastor's Conference featuring Alistair Begg, John Shearer, and Sinclair Ferguson. As I have been thinking about the conference, I realized that I had many great thoughts to reflect on. So, I thought I would share some of my favorite quotes with you.
John Shearer:
"Pastoring Is The Greatest work in the world."
"The minister of the word of God is to minister the word of God."
"We are as godly as we want to be."
"We can't keep on giving out, if we don't keep taking in."
"We must be aware of being sermon machines."
"In instructing others, wee must digest the truth ourselves. We must master the art of feeding ourselves."
"If you preach the bible you will never run short of seed to sow."
"Some may preach the gospel better than others, but there is no better gospel."
"Hold lightly to things that are temporary, and hold tightly to things that are eternal."
Sinclair Ferguson:
"When you know who you are in Christ, you don't need to pretend any longer."
"When Christ is preiminate, thankfulness reigns in our heart and life."
"When I understand what has happened to me, I become more sensitive to sin, because I see it in its true light."
Alistair Begg:
"The three c's of the pulpit: candid - so there is no concealment; clear - so there is no ambiguity, and confident - to speak without fear of the consequences."
"The message of the cross is not about something that we must do, but about something that has already been done."
"The complexity of human wisdom cannot deliver what it promises, but the simplicity of the cross can."
