Charles Spurgeon ...called slavery, 'the foulest blot ... which may have to be washed out in blood...a crime of crimes, a soul destroying sin, and an iniquity which cries out for vengeance.' quoted in The Book of Books,Melvyn Bragg, p.239 from Charles Haddon Spurgeon: A Preachers Progressby Patricia Stallings Kruppa, it was in a letter written by Spurgeon to Henry Ward Beecher.
THE SOn of Mary, the adopted son of a carpenter, sits now on the throne of the universe. A man now stands, no longer a victim to the serpent’s wiles, but a true king, utterly victorious.-Mike Reeves@mike_reeves
Wisdom has a price. It costs not by purchasing it
with money, but with the willingness to abandon
certain pleasures of the world. The cost may
pertain to our pride. The cost could result in
changing our lifestyles.
A high IQ is not required. This is because the
wisdom that we are talking about in this book comes
only from God. It is His prerogative to give or
withhold wisdom. It is one of His greatest gifts
to us. It is promised to those who make a wise
choice--to choose to follow his ways. --R. T. Kendall (1935- )

The past reflects eternally between two mirrors — the bright mirror of
words and deeds, and the dark one, full of things we didn't do or say.
