“The more the truth is turned away from, so much the more proclaim it. God will see to the issue. ‘So we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.’ Such is the faith of which we are speaking, as of such importance in our ministry.”
-Charles P. McIlvaine, Preaching Christ: An Address to Those Entering the Christian Ministry (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 2003; first published 1863), 60.
