These two quotes on preaching really encourage me, because if Spurgeon and Lloyd-Jones felt this way, there is hope for all of us!
“Any man who has had some glimpse of what it is to preach will inevitably feel that he has never preached. But he will go on trying, hoping that by the grace of God he may one day truly preach” (Martin Lloyd-Jones, Preaching and Preachers [Zondervan, 1971], 99).
“There is no good preacher who is not moved almost to the point of tears at the end of every sermon at how poor was the message he just delivered” (Charles Spurgeon, quoted by Bryan Chapell at 4:50 of this video).
