week 3

This week, I want to focus on Gods Love. I am not perfect, but I serve a perfect God. Its been a really tough couple of weeks. Especially this last one, seemingly quite low on myself. So I'm focusing on Gods Love, and Loving myself. I cannot comprehend Gods Love for us. I'm sure its going to be some huge word in heaven that we have not heard yet.

Anyways, Milam sent me an email with more SPURGEON! Love it! Basically we have been involved in watching some debates on the existance of God. Im sure the first quote was spurred from that. I thought is would be cool to share, so Milam take it away Brotha and Quote me some Spurge:


This quote from Spurgeon floored me:

Let me ask you, how many atheists are now in this house? Perhaps not a single one
of you would accept the title, and yet, if you live from Monday morning to Saturday
night in the same way as you would live if there were no God, you are practical
atheists; and as actions speak more loudly than words, you are more atheists than
those doctrinal unbelievers who disavow God with their mouths, and, after all, are
secretly afraid of him.

On prayer:

I hear of people praying for an hour together. I am very pleased that they can; but
it is seldom that I can do so, and I see no need for it. It is like a person going into a
bank with a cheque, and stopping an hour. The clerks would wonder. The common-
sense way is to go to the counter and show your cheque, and take your money, and go
about your business. There is a style of prayer which is of this fine practical
character. You so believe in God that you present the promise, obtain the blessing,
and go about your Master’s business. Sometimes a flood of words only means
excusing unbelief. The prayers of the Bible are nearly all short ones: they are short
and strong.

Amen. I will write again soon.
