Timely Quotations

22:29:54 :: [theology] :: 226 words

A number of quotations have appeared in my inbox lately that really speak to my heart, and I thought I’d share them with you. Just today I listened to a sermon by Reverend John Wagner that was also excellent, and one significant bit from that sermon is herein echoed as well.

(Not all from Spurgeon this time*!

* Most are. :-D )

I have never learned anything from God except by the rod.

If the excuse for fainting be that the work is toilsome, that it is too much a drag upon you, why did you begin it? You ought to have known this at the first. You should have counted the cost. But let me add, the work was not toilsome when your heart was loving, neither would it now be so hard if your soul were right with God.

Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart.

Anything which can divide saints from one another he [Satan] delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.

Foregoing quotations: Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

Pride is the last sin that dies in a child of God.—Rev. John Wagner, Christian Humility
