Quotes from Fred Craddock

Temptations are a compliment to our power, not our weakness.

Just because I'm a wren doesn't mean I can't preach an eagle message. Of course I can. Is that a lack of integrity if I preach something bigger than I can even feel, if I preach a message that I haven't even grown to? That's not a lack of integrity. That's accepting the call. That's what it is because there's too much at stake to do otherwise.

No one can increase the volume in the pulpit to such a level as to muffle the echo of lost convictions.

Passion makes one persuasive.
