Me: Butter my buns and call me a biscuit, but that ain’t the prettiest mantle.

Prodigal: I agree.

This is from the book The Soul Winner by C.H. Spurgeon

It may happen that some of you preach very earnestly and well, giving messages that are likely to be blessed. Yet you do not see sinners saved. Well, do not quit preaching, but say to yourself, “I must try to gather around me a number of people who will be praying with me and for me; who will talk to their friends about the things of God; who will live and labor in grace because all the surroundings are suitable; and who will help to make the blessing come.”

But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. Proverbs 2:22 (KJV)
