Scripture: Judges 10:6-16; Judges 11:29-36
“Prosperity will have its season – even when it’s here, it’s going by. And when it’s gone, we pretend we know the reasons, but all the roots grow deeper when it’s dry.”
David Wilcox
“No one has helped to provide salvation; God has done it all himself. The banquet of mercy is served up by one host.
Charles Spurgeon
“The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar full of fifteen-hundred-year-old, two-hundred proof grace–bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the Gospel–after all those centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your bootstraps–suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home free before they started… Grace has to be drunk straight: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale.”
Robert Farrar Capon, Between Noon and Three (San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1982), 114-15.
