Apples of Gold

Back from a short hiatus, quotes of the week. Two quotes today, one from Spurgeon, the second from Hugh Martin in his work on Jonah.

“It does us good to remember what we used to be. There was no reason in us, by nature, why we should be made the children of God. There were in us no distinguishing traits of character by which we were separated from our fellow-sinners. We ran in the same course; we were possessed by the same spirit; we wroth the same works; we had the same nature; we were under the same condemnation: “children of wrath, even as others.” -- C.H. Spurgeon

“There are few more conclusive and continually operating proofs of the depravity and ungodliness of the carnal mind, than its strange, cool, unaccountable, and settled forgetfulness of the very existence and nature of God as an infinite and omnipresent Spirit.” -- Hugh Martin
