Few sinners are saved after the first twenty minutes of a sermon.

Summary

This quote suggests that people who engage in sinful behavior rarely experience a change in their behavior or repentance after listening to a sermon for a significant amount of time. It implies that a long sermon may not have a strong impact on individuals who have already gone astray or are deeply involved in their transgressions. The quote suggests that it is important for sermons to capture the attention and engage sinners early on, as the likelihood of their salvation diminishes as time progresses.
