Today’s Quote
It is not the absence of sin, but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
As the Father loves the Son, in the same manner Jesus loves His people. He loved Him without beginning, and thus Jesus loves us. "I have loved you with an everlasting love." You can trace the beginning of human affection; you can easily find the beginning of your love to Christ, but His love to us is
a stream whose source is hidden in eternity. God the Father loves Jesus without any change. Christian, take this for your comfort, that there is no change in Jesus Christ's love to those who rest in Him. Yesterday you were on the mount and you said, "He loves me:" today you are in the valley of humiliation, but He loves you still the same.

Who has not seen petrified sermons? Lifeless masses of orthodox doctrine: stones, and not bread! Who has not heard of petrified prayers? Blocks of granite in which warmth and life were the last things to be looked for. Have not gospel ordinances themselves
in the hand of formalists become rather the gravestones of enthusiasm than firebrands to kindle its sacred flame? The world's greatest stumbling blocks are a lifeless church, a powerless ministry, and formal ordinances.
