kerux noemata has published a few more quotes, here’s some that stood out for me

C. J. Mahaney
[In his opening prayer before preaching.] “We know that prayer is not overcoming any reluctance in You . . . .”

[Describing the benefits of expositional preaching.] “You will get a church full of Christians!”
