Haven't read...I enjoyed the sermon on sundry fools. Haven't read the rest yet. Here is a quote that I think is relevant to many discussion held recently. There is hope for the lost and we hope for the Holy Spirit to enlighten those that may presently be fools. <BR/><BR/><I>We call those fools who have a great want of knowledge of things which it is necessary to know. Where other men find their way, they are lost. Where other men know what to do upon very simple matters, they are quite bewildered and cannot tell how to act. I remember when I did not know the way of salvation. I had heard it from my youth up, and heard it explained very simply, too; but I did not know it. Many must confess that, though now they understand what faith in Jesus is, yet they were very slow in catching the idea. It is an idea which a babe in grace can explain, but which wise men, classically instructed, do not receive. I may stand here, and beat my very heart out in trying to make plain how men are to believe and live, and yet out of my congregation not one will receive God's meaning into his heart unless God the Holy Ghost shall enlighten him; for we are such fools that the simplest matters of heavenly truth are utterly unknown to us.</I>candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088593538648596769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1133822394544490052005-12-05T14:39:00.000-08:002005-12-05T14:39:00.000-08:00What a great Savior indeed!What a great Savior indeed!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734845463331170748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1133817817376822242005-12-05T13:23:00.000-08:002005-12-05T13:23:00.000-08:00Thanks for the post, Phil.

I never realized anyone had preached on Robinson Crusoe, especially the likes of Spurgeon. <BR/><BR/>There is a great section early in the book where Crusoe begins to read through the Bible, and is convicted by the Holy Spirit about his wretched condition. Then, in what many believe is Crusoe's "conversion" he states, "Jesus, Thou Son of David, Jesus, Thou exalted Prince and Saviour, give me repentance!" <BR/><BR/>How many of us think we give our repentance to God, when in fact, it is a gift to us.<BR/><BR/>I think in many ways it is as important a "Christian" book as Pilgrim's Progress.puritanicoalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037018607747983203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1133815034057859322005-12-05T12:37:00.000-08:002005-12-05T12:37:00.000-08:00I include myself here...but notice how many commen...I include myself here...but notice how many comments you get when you have a go at someone compared to the relative few that accompany CHS expounding Scripture? <BR/><BR/>God obviously isn't finished with us yet.Colin Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632698769785766168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1133810457530776452005-12-05T11:20:00.000-08:002005-12-05T11:20:00.000-08:00What a great Savior!What a great Savior!Momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292177473341691525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1133797944288580382005-12-05T07:52:00.000-08:002005-12-05T07:52:00.000-08:00Great quote!

Such an incredible way to make your entrance as King and yet Jesus was more interested in serving than in being served.

I pray that it moves your heart to praise God for being a glorious king, the King of kings, who is not above riding on a donkey, washing feet, eating with sinners, stepping off his throne as Creator out of heaven and into the body of a creature, to die naked on the cross, to draw me to himself, adopt me as a child, and exalt Jesus so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. I pray that this reminder moves me today to not think myself too high to do even the most menial of tasks, not think my time too important to be bothered with the "insignificant" things of caring, and to love the way Jesus loved (1 John 3:16-18).Jacob Hantlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04964637928698990552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1133786575650496662005-12-05T04:42:00.000-08:002005-12-05T04:42:00.000-08:00Now, this is great stuff with which to start a Mon...Now, this is great stuff with which to start a Monday morning!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288648996304246570noreply@blogger.com
