A Quote by Charles Spurgeon
There are some people who need to wear a label round their necks to show that they are Christians at all, or else we might mistake them for sinners, their actions are so like those of the ungodly.

A lotta Christians wear crosses 'round their necks; do you think if Jesus comes back he ever wants to see another cross?

The Americans only like things they can label, even if it kills them. Think of those poor Latin American writers. Some of them are very good.

Every Christian should find for himself the imperative and incentive to become holy. If you live without struggle and without hope of becoming holy, then you are Christians only in name and not in essence. But without holiness, no one shall see the Lord, that is to say they will not attain eternal blessedness. It is a trustworthy saying that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners (I Tim. 1:15). But we deceive ourselves if we think that we are saved while remaining sinners. Christ saves those sinners by giving them the means to become saints.
Only sad sacks and conformists need things like no kiss on New Year's Eve to remind them to feel lonely.

You can feel sorry for yourself and dress like a hooker all year round: Hallmark never needs to know.
