• Best advice given to me about preaching: Preach Jesus! When you preach Jesus, signs and wonders will follow. The greatest wonder is when someone is born again. Don’t worry about preaching current events or topical issues, just preach Jesus. When you preach Jesus, you’ll never run out of things to say.
