“Brother, if any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him; for you are worse than he thinks you to be. If he charges you falsely on some point, yet be satisfied, for if he knew you better he might change the accusation, and you would be no better by the correction. If you have your moral portrait painted, and it is ugly, be satisfied; for it only needs a few blacker touches, and it would be still nearer the truth.” – Spurgeon
Chief of the Least
Christ came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief….
Sounds like a happy guy.
Ouch. How very true.
Spurgeon knows how to insert the knife and then twist but his emphasis on grace keeps me from losing hope.
Great choice of words there John!

Who’s Spurgeon?
my homeboy!
Thanks. Been looking for that one for a while. Is that from Lectures to my Students?
It was in Vol 34 of Metropolitan Tabernacle Sermons (1888).

Amazing! Feel so true about it. Now come to think of it, why was I so irritated when being thought of badly? What a wide display of pride!
