Passing Around the Mic

A few quotes from Thomas Watson (taken from Heaven Taken By Storm):

“The reason so many have been tricked into error is because they either did not know, or did not love, the truth.”

“Those who fly from the Word as a guide shall be forced to submit to it as a judge.”

“Those who slight God speaking in His Word shall hear Him speaking in His wrath.”

And now from Charles Spurgeon:

“The more prominent you are in Christ’s service, the more certain are you to be the butt of calumny. I have long ago said farewell to my character. I lost it in the earlier days of my ministry by being a little more zealous than suited a slumbering age. And I have never been able to regain it except in the sight of Him who judges all the earth, and in the hearts of those who love me for my work’s sake.”

And of course John Bunyan:

“In my preaching I was really in pain to bring forth children to God. I was not satisfied unless some fruit did appear in my work. If I were fruitless, it mattered not who commended me, but if I were fruitful, I cared not who condemned.”

And Best Of All from Psalm 31:20, “Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.”
