“It is important to remember that bold preaching will surely bring opposition from some. You must be prepared for opposition, even persecution. It is part of the cost that must be counted as you seek to become a better preacher . . . You must be prepared to face the criticisms which bold, confrontational preaching will elicit from the unrepentant — including those in our own congregation.”
-Roger Wagner, Tongues Aflame: Learning to Preach From the Apostles (Ross-shire, Great Britain: Christian Focus, 2005), 59-60.
