About this Quote

This quote by George Burns highlights the significance of structure and circulation in providing a successful preaching. Burns recommends that a good preaching needs to have a strong and fascinating start, in addition to an effective and memorable ending. Nevertheless, what genuinely makes a sermon effective is the distance of these two elements. By having an excellent beginning and a great ending close together, the message is most likely to resonate with the audience and leave a long lasting impact. This quote works as a reminder to preachers to thoroughly craft their sermons, guaranteeing that the beginning and ending are well thought out and flawlessly linked.
