Christians are not to be praised for neglected duties under the pretense of having secret fellowship with Jesus: it is not sitting, but sitting at Jesus’ feet, which is commendable…Those who have the most fellowship with Christ are not recluses or hermits, but indefatigable laborers who are toiling for Jesus; and who, in their toil, have Him side by side with them, so that they are workers together with God. Let us remember, then, in anything we have to do for Jesus, that we can do it, and should do it, in close communions with Him.
– Charles Spurgeon –
