Finite Fame

Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, has died today at age 82. What a feeling it must have been to know that you were the first man on the moon. No other man or woman will have a feeling like that. That feeling of prestige died with Mr. Armstrong today. It is humbling to know that not even that can escape death. I don't know if Mr. Armstrong was a Christian, but he is standing in front of Jesus today either way, moon or no moon.

JC Ryle quote

JC Ryle was a great preacher in his day. Here he gives a warning that is on time for today's culture:

"Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own." ~ J.C. Ryle

The Sower- A farmer; someone who sows or plants seed.

Charles Spurgeon is one of my favorite preachers that has ever expounded upon the word. Here is a quote that comes from his words on Matthew 13:3;

"You must go forth to sow! You cannot sit at your parlor window and sow wheat--and you cannot stand on one little plot of ground and keep on sowing there. If you have done your work in that place, go forth to sow elsewhere! Oh, that the Church of Christ would go forth into heathen lands! Oh, that there may be among Christians a general feeling that they must go forth to sow! What a vast acreage there still is upon which not a grain of God's wheat has ever yet fallen! Oh, for a great increase of the missionary spirit! May God send it upon the entire Church until everywhere it shall be said, 'Behold a sower went forth to sow.'"
