There are two kinds of people: those who do the work, and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.

If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.

Spirit of God, bring back Thy Church to a belief in the Gospel! Bring back her Ministers to preach it once again with the Holy Ghost and not striving after wit and learning! Then shall we see Thine arm made bare, O God, in the eyes of all the people. And the myriads shall be brought to rally round the throne of God and the Lamb. The Gospel must succeed. It shall succeed. It cannot be prevented from succeeding. A multitude that no man can number, must be saved...Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Are You a Calvinist? If you mean by a rigid Calvinist, one who is fierce, dogmatical, and censorious, and ready to deal out anathemas against all who differ from him, I hope I am no more such a one than I am a rigid Papist…but, as I find it in the Scriptures, I cheerfully embrace it, and leave it to the Lord to vindicate his own truths and his own ways, from all the imputations which have been cast upon them. —John Newton

How should we discern the wheat from the chaff, if it were not for the winnowing of trial? How should we know whether men served Christ for His own sake or from selfish motives, if His service brought health and wealth with it as a matter of course? The winds of winter soon show us which of the trees are evergreen and which are not. The storms of affliction and care are useful in the same way. They discover whose faith is real, and whose is nothing but profession and form.
