QUOTE OF THE WEEK

All the purposes of man have been defeated, but not the purposes of God. The promises of man may be broken—many of them are made to be broken—but the promises of God shall all be fulfilled. He is a promise-maker, but He never was a promise-breaker; He is a promise-keeping God, and every one of His people shall prove it to be so. This is my grateful, personal confidence, "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me"—unworthy me, lost and ruined me. 

Charles Spurgeon, A Defense of Calvinism

Quote of the Week:  Brooks

DateSaturday, December 13, 2008 at 08:23AM

Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.

Hi Kim-
I love this quote....it's one of my favourites. I got it from the book 'Devotions from the puritans' but couldn't find it when I went to look it up again, as I'd be interested to know the source of it!

Hope you are well!...I haven't been reading blogs for a wee while...
