So remember, you who profess to be followers of the Lord Jesus, that to you indifference is impossible! You must bless the church and the world by your holiness, or you will curse them both by your hypocrisy and inconsistency. In the visible church it is most true that "no man liveth unto himself, and no man dieth unto himself."
Charles Spurgeon

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”
Lord of the Rings
“ I believe these leaders are some sort of Baptist but I am not sure if they are Christians.” Moi
Yesterday I discussed my concern with the issue of Landmarkism. There are those who might claim that this view is not prevalent within the SBC. To some extent, that is true. Ask any rank and file Baptist whether they believe in Landmarkism and most would stare blankly at you. However, the debate over Landmarkism, as well as the whys and wherefores of baptism in general, is raging at the leadership level.

I have learned now that while those who speak about one’s miseries usually hurt, those who keep silence hurt more. ~ C.S. Lewis
The Land of Shadow:
There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. -The Return of the KIng -JR Tolkien
"Every uncorrected error and unrepented sin is, in its own right, a fountain of fresh error and fresh sin flowing on to the end of time." -C.S. Lewis -The Problem of Pain
"I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity."
— C.S. Lewis
"It is when we notice the dirt that God is most present in us; it is the very sign of His presence." — C.S. Lewis
