Warren Wiersbe - "Do you want to be a popular preacher or a spokesman?" - /clientimages/31831/popularoraspokesman-1.wma

Warren Wiersbe - "We cannot use shortcuts when it comes to understanding spiritual truth, building Christian character, or building the local church....Some methods are unworthy of the gospel; in fact, they cheapen the gospel....During more than forty years of ministry in many parts of the world, I have seen all sorts of schemes for building the church; and some of them, unfortunately, have worked - only to the detriment of the ministry. George Macdonald was right: "In whatever man does without God, he must either fail miserably, or succeed more miserably." If you are interested in the praise of men, then use the shortcuts and publicize your statistics. But if you are interested in the glory of God, stick with God's methods - the Word, prayer, witnessing, sacrifice, and suffering - and leave the results with him. After all, it is "God who gives the increase" (1 Corinthians 3:7). (God Isn't In A Hurry: Baker Books, 1994. Pg 12-13).
