Truly thank God that you can breath, walk, see, taste, talk, sleep, and hear, and it will infuse your soul with a gratitude that will energize your evangelism.

The church exists for the glory of God, not for the entertainment of men. Charles Spurgeon

Amen.
Your feelings are not divine revelation. Your impressions are not Scripture. Your experiences are not authoritative. "God told me" is not a substitute for "God's Word says." Stop chasing whispers, signs, feelings, encounters, sensations, and spiritual experiences. God has spoken. Open your Bible.

I found out that I could not be saved by good works for two very good reasons. First, I didn’t have any. Secondly, if I had any, they could not save me. Charles Spurgeon

If you really long to save men’s souls, you must tell them a great deal of disagreeable truth. Charles Spurgeon

Amen.
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, — Titus 3:3-6
