The following quote is how I truly feel and have come to appreciate, not idolizing him, but knowing that he and I are very different, and just as God is hopefully using me this way, so he too used Spurgeon. Do I in anyway think of myself o...n his level? Of course not, but that is not my lot. I am called to be a great husband, a loving father, a devoted friend and son, a humble and hard worker, a child of God. With that being said I still get asked why do I post what I post on Facebook? My answer mimics the following:
"I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, "You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself." My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will." Charles Spurgeon
As I always try to end, I hope and pray that you draw closer to God...but I must leave that between you and Him. Please check the blog below for all of my past posts and feel free to leave comments, request, etc. blessings.
