I Suppose It Is True

Prodigal: What have they been up to?

Me: Thay ain’t no tell’in

This is from Dr. J.H. Jowett

I suppose it is true of all preachers that as we grow older our sense of the inefficiency of our work becomes intensified. The wonder grows that God can accomplish so much with such inadequate implements. One’s satisfaction with the Evangel deepens with the years; but one is increasingly discontented with the imperfect way in which we present it. No, I do not write as one who is proficient. I am only a blunderer at best; but I write as one who is honestly desirous of better and more useful equipment.

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4 (KJV)

Somebody

Prodigal: Somebody thinks your special!

Me: I think they are special also!

This is from the book Joy in Christ’s Presence by Charles Spurgeon

“Somebody!” I do not know your name, but “Somebody!” –God’s electing love rests on you; Christ’s redeeming blood was shed for you; and the Spirit has brought about a work in you, or you would not have touched Jesus. Jesus knows all of this.

He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean.

John 13:10

We Must Practice

Prodigal: You are getting better.

Me: It is all the practice.

This is from the book Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald S. Whitney

That’s the way it is with the Spiritual Disciplines. The desire and the power for them are produced by the grace of God. But Christians themselves must practice the Disciplines. For example, a deep, insatiable hunger for the Bible is a gift from God, but we are the ones who must turn the pages and read the words. God doesn’t pull our passive bodies over to the desk and cause our hands to open the Bible and draw our eyes back and forth over the pages without any effort on our part.

Romans 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
