God Uses Sinners

Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. (Philippians 1:15-18 NASB)

God always use sinners to preach His gospel of salvation. He did not call the angels to preach (except in Revelation 14:6), but sinners saved by grace. He did not miraculously change the heart of men, but work through each man one by one.
