Scholarly arguments are of extremely limited value in producing people who are ready to lay down their lives for the truth of the Bible. You can't remember the arguments.
-- John Piper, "Why I Trust the Scriptures," from Text and Context Conference at Mars Hill Church, Seattle.
[Sermon stealing] is not only stealing. It indicates that the person has already abandoned what the ministry is about. What the ministry is about is to free up some person, a pastor, so that he is studying and thinking the word of God to enable him to teach the whole counsel of God to others. And if instead he is merely an organic tape recorder he is taking money under false pretenses.
-- Don Carson, "The Pastor as the Son of an Earthly Father," from the Bethlehem Pastor's Conference at Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis.
