The mode of operation in the Kingdom of God is, first make disciples, baptize them, teach them whatever the Lord has commanded and then let them go forth and do the same with others. When one light is kindled, other candles are lit
from it. Drops of heavenly water are flashed aloft and scattered all around like dew upon the face of the earth and, behold, each one begets a fountain where it falls and thus the desert is made to rejoice and blossom as the rose! Do not try
to teach till the Lord Jesus has first taught you! Do not pretend to instruct till you have been instructed! Sit at Christ’s feet before you speak in Christ’s name—but when once you are instructed, do not fail to become teachers. The lessons of your Lord will be impressed upon your minds the more forcibly and indelibly when you have earnestly communicated them to your fellow men. First be taught, but after wards fail not to teach! Hoard not up the treasure of Divine knowledge, for there is no shortage there—eat not, alone, the honey of redeeming love, for there is enough and to spare. Feed not upon the Bread of Heaven with selfish greed, as though there were a famine in the land and you had need to save each crumb for yourself—but break your bread among the hungry crowd about you and it shall multiply in your hands. Christ has called you that you may afterwards go forth and call others to His sacred feast of Grace.
Charles Spurgeon
After hearing the gospel, the man says, "I would believe in Christ, but I do not know whether I am one of God's elect or not.
Sir, that doctrine of election troubles me and staggers me. If I knew I was one of the elect, I would trust Christ." That is-if God will show you his secrets, then you will do God's will, and so the Almighty is to bend to your conditions, and then you will do as he bids you! You will come to feast at the man's table, if he will take you into his secret closet, and show you all his treasure!
He will do nothing of the kind. How foolish this talk is about election! The doctrine of election is a great and precious truth, but it never can be a valid reason for a man does not believe in Christ. You are ill today, and the doctor comes, "There," says he, "there is the medicine, I will guarantee if you take it, it will heal you."
You say, "Sir, I would take it at once, but I do not know whether I am predestinated to get over this fever. If I am predestinated to live, why then, sir, I will take the medicine, but I must know first."
"Ah!' says the doctor, "I tell what, if you do not take it, you are predestinated to die." And I will tell you this, if you will not believe in Jesus Christ, you will be damned, be you who you may, but you will not be able to lay it at predestination's door; it will lie at your own.
Charles Spurgeon
1 Corithians 13
If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
If I speak God's word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, " Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing.
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a marytr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up,
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love dosen't want what it dosen't have.
Love dosen't strut,
Dosen't have a swelled head,
Dosen't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Dosen't fly off the handle,
Dosen't keep score of the sins of others,
Dosen't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of the truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tounges will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.
When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like an infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.
We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us towards that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of these three is LOVE.
