daily I'm constrained to be.
Let thy goodness, like a fetter
bind my wandering heart to Thee!"

"We must be clothed with humility; for the proud in spirit are those that cannot bear to be trampled upon, but grow outrageous, and fret themselves, when they are hardly bestead. That will break a proud man's heart, which will not break a humble man's sleep. Mortify pride, therefore, and a lowly spirit will easily be reconciled to a low condition." -Matthew Henry

"Man's Sensitivity to trivia, and his insensitivity to matters of major importance, reveal he has a strange disorder."
-Blaise Pascal


"Most people lack the true repentance. They lack the true contrition, the true brokenness. They are void of urgent desperation. They don't have a true relationship to Jesus Christ. They just "hang around" Jesus... And they do not know what it means to bow to that which is eternal. To be concerned about that. They want a gospel that doesn't ask for repentance. They want a gospel that has no threats. They want a gospel that allows them to have some superficial attachment to Jesus, but not a bowing to His absolute sovereignty at any cost. They want a gospel that fixes them in this world to make them more comfortable. That's not it. And that's not what Jesus offers."
—John MacArthur

"Can You Be Alone?"

"If I could look back and point out one thing I see in common with men and women of God, it is their willingness to be shut up to God."

"Very rarely will you find a young man or a even man of God who will separate himself from all his playmates and just be alone with God."

-Paul Washer

Hi Susan,

I stumbled upon your blog and just wanted to express my thanks firstly to God and to you for your it. It is a joy and breath of fresh air to find someone who is attempting in the Lord's strength to live up to Matthew 11:12, "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force."

Wishing you a Christ-exalting, soul-humbling Christian pilgrimage through this wilderness of the world!

In Christ,
David

Hi Susan,
I came across your blog through a link to a youtube video of Paul Washer from Slice. Your blog seems very theologically sound and edifying. I just had one concern that I didn't want to raise in this comment forum. If you have the time, please shoot me an email so that I can email you the concern. Thank you.
In Christ,
Carrie
