God Gives Us Our Daily Bread – DL Moody
If God could set a table for His people in the wilderness, and feed three millions of Israelites for forty years, can he not give us our daily bread? I do not mean only the bread that perisheth, but also the Bread that cometh from above. If He feeds the birds of the air, surely he will feed his children made in His own image! If He numbers the very hairs of our head, he will take care to supply all our temporal wants.

The Name They Go By – Charles Spurgeon
A boy in the streets, selling mince-pies, kept crying, “Hot mince-pies!” A person bought one of them, and found it quite cold. ”Boy,” said he, ”why do you call these pies hot?” “Thats the name they go by, sir,” said the boy. So there are plenty of people who are called Christians, but they are not Christians—thats the name they go by; but all the substance is drained out of them by other matters.
