[The Daily Spurgeon @dailyspurgeon]

Hope for the most hopeless. Till they are in hell, pray for them. Till they are in their graves, hope for them. Till they die, labour to bring them to Christ. God’s mercy ever endures: let our tenderness endure.

[Terry Virgo @TerryVirgo]

We’re called “saints” over 60 times in the Bible & “Christians” only 3 times. It��s not for special ones (like Mother Theresa) who’ve earned it. It’s free because we’re in Christ. Let’s restore it!

God is either your best friend or your worst enemy.

~ Matthew Henry

Not ten thousand. All of them.

Lord, I flee to thee for mercy, and do thou guide and direct me.

O Lord, may my faith and love be more active, bringing forth more the fruits of the Spirit.

In 1866, when Dr. Mullens, Foreign Secretary of the LMS visited Trivandrum, he made arrangements to buy a compound of 16 acres known as ‘Captain Davidson’s Compound’ for Rs. 9000 at Cantonment (Palayam). This is the present LMS Compound. #LMS #MMChurch #LondonMissionarySociety

One of the functions of prayer is it makes the truths of the gospel--and God himself-- real to the heart.
