An Allotment of Grace

Today I was reflecting on the life of Charles Spurgeon and I asked myself if I have the capacity to fight battles on multiple fronts in the way that he did.


The answer is no.

But the question and the response are irrelevant. My capacity--and Spurgeon's for that matter--to do anything comes from God and an allotment of his grace, not my striving. So, if it would please God, I someday will have the capacity; but for right now I will bathe in his gospel of grace.

A Cloudy Future

How foolish are those men who wish to pry into the future; the telescope is ready, and they are looking through; but they are so anxious to see, that they breathe on the glass with their hot breath and they dim it, so that they can discern nothing but clouds and darkness.

Do Not Neglect Warning Against Satan

"Certain theologians, nowadays, do not believe in the existence of Satan. It is remarkable when children do not believe in the existence of their own father."
-Charles Haddon Spurgeon
