“Preachers like Paul, who realize their own desperate need and the Spirit’s almighty power, will saturate their ministry of the Word with prayer–for their hearers, themselves, and each other–and will urgently seek the support of others’ prayers.”
-Dennis E. Johnson, Him We Proclaim: Preaching Christ From All The Scriptures (Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R, 2007), 92.
