Great Quote from Jared C. Wilson

A great quote from Jared C. Wilson's book, Gospel Wakefulness: "The Gospel is not just the entry fee for heaven but the currency for all of life."

Quote from Spurgeon

Lectures to My Students, Lecture 1: The Minister's Self-Watch (p.17): We must cultivate the highest degree of godliness because our work imperatively requires it. The labor of Christian ministry is well performed in exact proportion to the vigor of our renewed nature. Our work is only well done when it is well with ourselves. As the workman, such will the work be. To face the enemies of truth, to defend the bulwarks of the faith, to rule well in the house of God, to comfort all that mourn, to edify the saints, to guide the perplexed, to bear with the froward, to win and nurse souls - all these and a thousand other works beside are not for a Feeble-mind or a Ready-to-halt, but are reserved for Great-heart whom the Lord has made strong for himself. Seek then strength from the Strong One, wisdom from the Wise One, in fact, all from the God of all.
