One of the quickest ways for a pastor to raise needless questions about his integrity, to become burdened with things unnecessary, and to be tempted to treat members with partiality is to become involved in the church’s finances. Though the elders are ultimately responsible, the day-to-day affairs are best left to the deacons.

Gem #89 – Sound Preaching

The old truth that Calvin preached, that Chrysostom preached, that Paul preached, is the truth I must preach today, or else be a liar to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth. I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine. John Knox’s gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again. the great mass of our ministers are sound enough in the faith, but not sound enough in the way they preach it.
