Quote of the Month (...or of my life)

Beloved, have genuine faith in the Word of God, and in its power to save.  Do not go up into the pulpit preaching the truth and saying, 'I hope some good will come of it,' but confidently believe that it will not return void, but must work the eternal purpose of God.  Do not speak as if the gospel might have some power, or might have none.  God send you to be a miracle-worker, therefore, say to the spiritually lame, 'In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk,' and men will rise up and walk; but if you say, 'I hope, dear man, that Jesus Christ may be able to make you rise up and walk,' your Lord will frown upon your dishonoring words.  You have lowered him, you have brought Him down to the level of your unbelief; and He cannot do many mighty works by you.  Speak boldly; for if you speak by the Holy Spirit, you cannot speak in vain.

-Charles Spurgeon
