• Comment to those looking at my sermons: Reasonable, revelant and authentic. Scripture demonstrated in an incarnational, missional, relational way. Narratological, expository approach to Bible interpretation towards Cultural, Personal Transformation.
• Sermon or series that made a difference: Denying of self; Kingdom Message; Seek first His righteousness; The I am Principle

• Family: Chantál my wife of 28 years
• What my parents think of my sermons: Informative, interesting, and possibly too long.
• What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: I’m my husband’s most devoted disciple. He’s taught me so many practical truths. He is a great student of God’s word, very teachable, knowledgeable. It’s easy to listen to someone who’se devoted his life to Christ. I imitate him, as he imitates Christ. Chantál Oosthuizen, 3 October 2017.
• Best advice given to me about preaching: Do not preach people wrong, preach them righteous.

• Something funny that happened while preaching: The pew broke under the weight of my fan-club from the Old age home, when they stood up together to respond to the altar call.
• What I want on my tombstone: Disciple and follower of Jesus, lifelong learner and discoverer, a father and a son, a reformer and one continually being reformed into the Image of Christ.
