Spurgeon Quote

"The half-hearted man does nothing. He is always going to do much, but it ends in mere proposing, and comes to nothing. A life which lingers on the verge of something, but never comes to anything, is most ridiculous" (spurgeon, Salt Cellars vol. I).

This should encourage us to action. Should it not? I am always talking about what I am going to do ministry wise but I often find it is hard to do more than talk. If all did this nothing would get accomplished! Talk about helping to overcome financial obstacles, talk about doing something to ease the suffering of another in a material way, talk about doing what ever it takes to help those in need, talk about going on a mission trip, talk about going to visit the sick, the imprisoned, the orphan, to mortify sin in our lives, is all nothing more than proposing apart from action.

When will we be whole hearted in our love of the Lord and devoted whole hearted to his work?
