quotables to think upon
"he who grows in grace remembers that he is but dust, and he therefore
does not expect his fellow Christians to be anything more. he overlooks
ten thousand of their faults, because he knows his God overlooks twenty
thousand in his own case. he does not expect perfection in the
creature, and, therefore, he is not disappointed when he does not find
it."
-charles spurgeon
"the man who is meek is not even sensitive about himself. he is not
always watching himself and his own interests. he is not always on the
defensive. we all know about this, do we not? is it not one of the
greatest curses in life as a result of the fall- this sensitivity about
self? we spend the whole of our lives watching ourselves. but when a man
becomes meek he is finished with all that; he no longer worries about
himself and what other people say. to be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we see there is nothing worth defending. so
we are not on the defensive; all that is gone. the man who is truly
meek never pities himself...self-pity! what hours and years we waste in
this! but the man who has become meek has finished with all that. to be
meek,
in other words, means that you have finished with yourself
altogether, and you come to see you have no rights or deserts at all.
you come to realize that nobody can harm you...'he that is down need
fear no fall' (bunyan). when a man truly sees himself, he knows nobody
can say anything about him that is too bad. you need to not worry about
what men say or do; you know you deserve it all and more. once again,
therefore, i would define meekness like this. the man who is truly meek
is the one who is amazed that God and man can think of him as well as
they do and treat him as well as they do. it must go on and express
itself in our whole demeanour and in our behaviour with respect to
others. it does it like this. a person who is of the type that i have
been describing must of necessity be mild. think again of the example;
think again of the Lord Jesus Christ. mild, gentle, lowly- those are
the terms."
-d. martin lloyd-jones

| sigh, i love it...
"for we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
-hebrews 4:15-16
"and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf."
-2 corinthians 5:15
"for you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
-colossians 3:3

| quotables from emails i received"Peace shares deeply about her own life and how God shaped
her character over the course of 15 years. When she became a Christian, she was
fervent about serving Him, but had so little knowledge of the Word and so could
not be of use to train and disciple younger women. She used the example of a
nurse, who has all the book knowledge and shows up for her first day in a new
uniform, eager to work, but has so little experience that she cannot yet be
effective. As Martha Peace grew in her knowledge of the Bible and doctrine, and
once she grew in character, the Lord was then able to use her mightily for
ministry.
Concerning godly character, Peace struggled with anger and
self-righteousness/pride, but she is living proof that the Holy Spirit can
change a person. She says that He changed her into a woman with a gentle and
quiet spirit. I’m so encouraged by this!" "being a believer shouldn't be, and isn't, a minimum
requirement; it should be the basis of the attraction, it should be the
godly characters and the love for God that i should find attractive." | | |
