“If you will not have death unto sin, you shall have sin unto death.
There is no alternative.
If you do not die to sin, you shall die for sin.
If you do not slay sin, sin will slay you.”
-Charles Spurgeon

Quote of the Month
“He is not the best student who reads the most books, but he who meditates
the most upon them; he shall not learn most of divinity who hears the
greatest number of sermons, but he who meditates the most devoutly upon what
he does hear; nor shall he be so profound a scholar who takes down ponderous
volumes one after the other, as he who, reading little by little, precept
upon precept, and line upon line, digests what he learns, and assimilates
each sentiment to his heart by meditation.”
— Charles Spurgeon
Quote of the Month
“If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud… If you think you’re not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.”
-C.S. Lewis
“A truly humble man is sensible of his natural distance from God; of his dependence on Him; of the insufficiency of his own power and wisdom.”
-Jonathan Edwards
Quote of the Month
“How much ‘chaff’ remains even in the one who has been genuinely converted! How much of the ‘flesh’ mingles with and mars his spiritual exercises! How much which is merely ‘natural’ is mixed with his youthful zeal and energetic activities! How much of carnal wisdom and leaning unto our own understanding there is, till God is pleased to deepen His work of grace in the soul! And one of the principal instruments which He employs in that blessed work is the ‘tribulum’ or our tribulation. By means of sore disappointments, thwarted plans, inward fightings, painful afflictions, does He ‘take forth the precious from the vile’, and remove the dross from the pure gold. It is by waning us from the things of earth that He fits us for setting our affections on things above. It is by drying up creature-streams of satisfaction that he makes His children thirst for the Fountain of living water…”
