“Christians rejoice even while they truly sorrow – - because their rejoicing is in the hope of heaven….While joy overcomes sorrow, it does not put an end to it.” John Calvin
" The apostle (Paul) says to Timothy, and so he says to every preacher, “Give attendance to reading.” The one who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains proves that he has no brains of his own.
Brethren, what is true of pastors is true of all our people - you need to read!”
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
