You Will Suffer

Jesus in every book

True Love

"If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for."

- CH Spurgeon

Psalm 20

Man I just want to pray this for everyone around me:

[Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God]

[TO THE CHOIRMASTER. A PSALM OF DAVID.]

[20:1] May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble!

May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!

[2] May he send you help from the sanctuary

and give you support from Zion!

[3] May he remember all your offerings

and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah

[4] May he grant you your heart's desire

and fulfill all your plans!

[5] May we shout for joy over your salvation,

and in the name of our God set up our banners!

May the LORD fulfill all your petitions!

[6] Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;

he will answer him from his holy heaven

with the saving might of his right hand.

[7] Some trust in chariots and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

[8] They collapse and fall,

but we rise and stand upright.

[9] O LORD, save the king!

May he answer us when we call.

(Psalm 20 ESV)

The Story

‎"Scripture tells us the story of how a Garden is transformed into a Garden City, but only after a dragon had turned that Garden into a howling wilderness, a haunt of owls and jackals, which lasted until an appointed warrior came to slay the dragon, giving up his life in the process, but with his blood effecting the transformation of the wilderness into the Garden City." -Douglas Wilson

Our duty and our privilege

‎"It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus. We are not to be living specimens of men in fine preservation, but living sacrifices, whose lot is to be consumed; we are to spend and to be spent, not to lay ourselves up in lavender, and nurse our flesh."
- C.H. Spurgeon, The Minister’s Fainting Fits, Lectures to My Students, Lecture XI, 1856.
