Quotes by D. A. Goodsell

I find on inquiring among successful pastors, successful in the sense of winning men to Christ in profession, that they depend largely on personal contact.

— D. A. Goodsell

We are to be neither book-worms nor male gossips, but Christian gentlemen, with a side towards mental culture, and a side to practical life. We are to learn how to talk to the people by being with the people, and we are to learn how to raise them up by raising ourselves. We are never to forget that ministry is service, not mastery. "Ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake."

— D. A. Goodsell
