“The best training for a soldier of Christ is not merely a theological college. They always seem to turn out sausages of varying lengths, tied at each end, without the glorious freedom a Christian ought to abound and rejoice in. You see, when in hand-to-hand conflict with the world and the devil, neat little biblical confectionery is like shooting lions with a pea-shooter: one needs a man who will let himself go and deliver blows right and left as hard as he can hit, trusting in the Holy Ghost. The training is not that of the schools but of the market: it’s the hot, free heart and not the balanced head that knocks the devil out. Nothing but forked-lightning Christians will count. A lost reputation is the best degree for Christ’s service. It is not so much the degree of arts that is needed, but that of hearts, loyal and true, that love not their lives to the death: large and loving hearts which seek to save the lost multitudes, rather than guard the ninety-nine well-fed sheep in the British pen”.

Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all the hard-working mothers! And to my own Mum, I love you, thank for giving me life, for always loving and supporting me. You’ve been through some hard times but you always have a smile on your face, and I respect that.
My kids brought in to me breakfast in bed this morning and all their little presents they’d bought from the Mother’s Day stall at school I love seeing what they choose for me. Mother’s day is such a special day because you get to say “I love you” and “Thank you” to the person who brought you into this world and it is a day when as a Mother you feel the appreciation of your kids.
Here are some quotes about Mums you may like:
The impression that a praying mother leaves upon her children is life-long. Perhaps when you are dead and gone your prayer will be answered. – D.L. Moody
I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother. Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children. Billy Graham
May God bless you today, especially if you’re a Mum!
God has no concern about our organisations. When their purpose is finished He allows them to be swept aside, and if we are attached to the organization, we shall go with it. Organisation is a great necessity, but not an end in itself, and to live for any organization is a spiritual disaster. Oswald Chambers
