We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man’s fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.
– Charles Spurgeon –
God never saved any man for being a preacher, nor because he was an able preacher; but because he was a justified, sanctified man, and consequently faithful in his Masters work. Take heed, therefore, to ourselves first, that you he that which you persuade your hearers to be, and believe that which you persuade them to believe, and heartily entertain that Savior whom you offer to them. He that bade you love your neighbors as yourselves, did imply that you should love yourselves, and not hate and destroy yourselves and them.
– Richard Baxter –
We are weak in the pulpit because weak in the closet.
– John Angel James –
There’s no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God.
– Brother Lawrence –
Let there be something of benevolence, in all that I speak.
– Jonathan Edwards –
