God's ironies

A truly egalitarian message

Greek

I am reading Ephesians in Greek 20X, and I am about to go bananas!

We must be more intentional and disciplined with community life

“Perhaps the greatest single weakness of the contemporary Christian church is that millions of supposed members are not really involved at all, and what is worse, do not think it strange that they are not.”[1] --Elton Trueblood

Good 'ol Spurgeon

“Young Brothers… you must eat your way into the ministry! You will never be able to say to others, “Eat what is good,” unless you have feasted upon those things yourselves! Unless you have an inward appreciation of their sweetness and have sucked them into your very being, you will never be able to talk with power to others concerning them. Paul wrote to Timothy, “The husbandman that labors, must first be partaker of the fruits,” so Christian ministers, Sunday school teachers, and all workers for Christ must eat that which is good if they are to be used in feeding others with spiritual food!”—1902, Sermon

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
