"It is terrible to fall into hell from the pew. But how dreadful it is to fall into hell from the pulpit! Does not my heart tremble to think that it is possible for me—like the unbelieving spies—to survey the heavenly Canaan, yet never possess it (Num. 14:36–38)? Does not my heart tremble to think that, while I preach to others, I might be a castaway? Lord, let me so exalt Thee in my heart as my chief good, in my life as my utmost end, and preach so effectually to myself and others, that I might both save myself and those who hear me (1 Tim. 4:16)." --George Swinnock, as quoted in Yuille, J. Stephen (2013-07-28). A Labor of Love: Puritan Pastoral Priorities (Kindle Locations 224-227). Reformation Heritage Books. Kindle Edition.
