Quotable

I am currently on my break at work and just had to take a moment to put up the following quote. It is from a biography I am reading on CH Spurgeon, and the chapter I am reading is on his theological convictions. These are Spurgeon's words regarding holiness:

"Christian men are not to be used for anything but God. They are a set-apart people; they are vessels of mercy, they are not for the devil's use, not for their own use, not for the world's use, but for their Master's use. He has made them on purpose to be used entirely, solely and wholly for Him. O Christian people, be holy, for Christ is holy. Do not pollute that holy Name wherewith you are named. Let your family life, your personal life, your business life, be as holy as Christ your Lord would have it to be. Shall saints be shams when sinners are so real?"

No wonder he is called the Prince of Preachers!
