A natural heart is offended every day at the preaching of the Cross… The preaching of another’s righteousness–that you must have it or perish–many, I have no doubt, are often enraged at this in their hearts. Many, I doubt not, have left this church on account of it, and many more, I doubt not, will follow. All the offence of the Cross is not ceased. But a broken heart cannot be offended. Ministers cannot speak too plainly for a broken heart. A broken heart would sit for ever to hear of the righteousness without works.
… Robert Murray M’Cheyne (1813-1843), Memoir and Remains of the Rev. Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Study your prayers, a great part of my time is spent getting in tune for prayer.
Study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this, for your sermons last but an hour or two, your life preaches all the week. If Satan can only make a covetous minister a lover of praise, of pleasure, of good eating, he has ruined your ministry. Give yourselves to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God. Luther spent his best three hours in prayer.
“A man is what he is on his knees before God, and nothing more.”
Here is it…
“A man is what he is on his knees before God, and nothing more”
Robert Murray McCheyne said…
Let the Holy Spirit fill every chamber of your heart so that there will be no room for folly or the world or Satan or the flesh.
Let is cry out for the filling of the Holy Spirit.
