“The more unworthy you feel yourself to be, the more evidence have you that nothing but unspeakable love could have led the Lord Jesus to save such a soul as yours. The more demerit you feel, the clearer is the display of the abounding love of God in having chosen you, and called you, and made you an heir of bliss.” HumilityPrideElectionGrace Of GodSelf RighteousnessSovereignty Of God Book:Morning and Evening, Based on the English Standard Version Source: Morning and Evening, Based on the English Standard Version
“We would never say to a man, "Be eccentric"; but if he cannot help being so, we would not have him be otherwise. The Leaning Tower of Pisa owes much of its fame to its leaning, and although it certainly is not a safe model for architects, we would by no means advise its demolition. Ten to one any builder who tried to erect another would create a huge ruin, and therefore it would not be a safe precedent; but there it is, and who wishes it was other than it is? Serve the Lord, brother, with your very best, and seek to do even better, and whatever your peculiarities, the grace of God will be glorified in you.” UniqueOddGrace Of GodEccentricityIdiosyncrasiesTowerPisaLeaning Book:Eccentric Preachers: Spiritual Lessons and Insights from God’s Peculiar People [Updated and Annotated] Source: Eccentric Preachers: Spiritual Lessons and Insights from God’s Peculiar People [Updated and Annotated]
