True vs. False Repentance
Many think they repent when it is not the offense but the penalty that troubles them.
Worship and Service
Worship consists in putting God at the centre of life, and service in seeing to it that all the life is centered on Him.
G. Campbell Morgan, Living Messages of the Books of the Bible, p. 43
Liquid Prayers
Let us learn to think of tears as liquid prayers, and of weeping as a constant dropping of importunate intercession which will wear its way right surely into the very heart of mercy, despite the stony difficulties which obstruct the way.
Charles H. Spurgeon, The Treasury of David, notes on Psalm 6.8
The Beginning of Worship
Fruitful and acceptable worship begins before it begins.
The Pastor’s Pastor
There is no one so interested in the pastor’s charge as the Chief Pastor is. He shares all the anxieties, hardships, watchings, and perils of the work.
Precious Lord
The Divine Sugar Daddy
We forget God is not primarily in the business of meeting needs. When we make Him out to be, we squeeze Him out of His rightful place at the center of our lives and put ourselves in His place. God is in the business of being God. Christianity cannot be reduced to God meeting people’s needs, and when we attempt to do so, we invariably distort the heart of the Christian message.
David W. Henderson, Culture Shift (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 1998), 29.
You Preach a Sermon Every Day
The best of all preaching, because the most simple and unostentatious, is to be found in the ordinary communion you hold with your fellow creatures when, with a good conversation, you avail yourselves of all the occurrences and opportunities of daily life!
