Centrality of Christ
Confidence in God – Harry A. Ironside
God is not looking for brilliant men, is not depending upon eloquent men, is not shut up to the use of talented men in sending His Gospel out in the world. God is looking for the broken men who have judged themselves in the light of the Cross of Christ. When He wants anything done, He takes up men who have come to the end of themselves, whose confidence is not in themselves, but in God.

We Do See Jesus – Charles Spurgeon
We have not seen Jesus raise the dead; we have not seen him cast out devils; we have not seen him use the winds and calm the waves; but we do see, with our mind’s eye, his spotless holiness, his boundless love, his superlative truth, his wondrous heavenliness; in a word, we have seen, and do see, his fullness of grace and truth; and we rejoice in the fact that the tabernacle government of God among men in Christ Jesus is attended with a more real glory than the mere brilliance of light and the glow of flame.
– Charles Spurgeon –
