WE ARE THE MESSAGE, CHRIST IS THE GOAL
James S. Stewart, A Faith to Proclaim:
"Christian preaching begins only when faith in the message has reached such a pitch that the man or the community proclaiming it becomes part of the message proclaimed ... To be thus taken command of, so that our testimony, when we go out to speak of Christ, is not ours at all, but Christ’s self-testimony -- this is our vocation and the hope of our ministry..."
