Quote of the Day
I just got a Way of the Master calendar, which includes a quote or Bible verse every day. So, I will post them here and we can discuss them if we feel like it, or we can just read them and be encouraged each day to share our faith. Here are a couple that we missed - since I'm getting started a little late, here.
quoting
"The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions." -A.W. Tozer
Wow, isn't this what we're seeing in modern churches these days? The whole post-modern, universelism thing?
quoting
"There's probably no concept in theology more repugnant to modern America than the idea of divine wrath." -R.C. Sproul
Oooh, and this one tells us why it's like that. Because we'd prefer to enjoy our sins, attempting to justify them instead of repenting of them.
But the wages of sin is death....
quoting
"I believe the holier a man becomes, the more he mourns over the unholiness which remains in him." -Charles Spurgeon
Now, this is how it should be.
quoting
"Lord make me a crisis man. Let me not be a mile-post on a single road, but make me a fork that men must turn one way or another in facing Christ in me." -Jim Elliot
Another good one! 
Don't water it down for anyone!
quoting
"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor." -George Washington
Who says our country isn't founded on Christian values?
Now that we're caught up, here's the one for today:
"I do not believe any man can preach the Gospel who does not preach the Law." -Charles Spurgeon
---
Carry me, I'm just a dead man lying on the carpet, can't find a heartbeat,
Make me breathe, I wanna be a new man, tired of the old one, out with the old plan - JoC

I'm hoping God's mercy is very broad (when looking at my friends and neighbors), but.....I'm certainly not betting that it will be the case (and that's not really what the bible tells us). Im counting on Jesus, and his beautiful gift of sacrifice.
Odd to see the name Tozer again, I must find a Tozer book to read

Peace, that brief period in history when everyone stops to reload.

Re: Quote of the Day
I just bought "Spurgeon Gold" at WOTM. I haven't had time to read a lot of it, but he's got some awesome stuff! They've also got "Wesley Gold" and "Whitefield Gold".
I'll let you know if they ever come out with Tozer Gold!

Re: Quote of the Day
But there are many more who "know" sin, and know nothing of the law.

Re: Quote of the Day
quoting
"All men who are eminently useful ware made to feel their weakness in a supreme degree." -Charles Spurgeon
Makes me think of the Apostle Paul, praying that his affliction might be removed. But God told him, "My strength works best in your weakness."
