Cool Quotes

Some cool things that I read today.
2 Corinthians 3:4-5 "Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God."

"Brethren, if Paul (the writer of 2 Corinthians, who wrote the above verse) is not sufficient of Himself what are you and I? Where are you...do you indulge the dream of self sufficiency? Be ashamed of your folly in the presence of a great man who knew what he said and who spoke under the direction of the Spirit of God, and wrote deliberately 'Not that we are sufficient of ourselves'"--Spurgeon

"Our sufficiency is of God; let us practically enjoy this truth. We are poor, leaking vessels and the only way for us to keep full is to put our pitcher under the perpetual flow of boundless grace. Then, despite its leakage, the cup will always be full to the brim."--Spurgeon

"The preacher should either speak in God's name or hold his tongue. My brother, if the Lord has not sent you with a message, go to bed, or to school, or mind your farm; for what does it matter what you have to say of your own? If heaven has given you a message, speak it out as he ought to speak who is called to be the mouth of God."--Spurgeon
