Charles P. McIlvaine, Preaching Christ

I recently finished reading Preaching Christ by Charles P. McIlvaine (1799-1873). Here are a few quotes that stirred me:

"It is very possible to preach a great deal of important religious truth...and yet not to preach Christ...You may say a great deal about and around the gospel, and never preach the gospel.""You may take truth from the immediate neighborhood of the cross, or from the farthest boundaries of the domain of Christianity, and, when its just relation to Christ and his redemption is exhibited, Christ is preached.""He will preach best who loves most."
