Titus 3:8 —The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
Charles Spurgeon
“There are always plenty of them, and there are certain professing Christians who spend half their lives in fighting about nothing at all. There is no more in their contention than the difference between Tweedledum and Tweedledee. But they will divide a church over it, they will go through the world as if they had found out a great secret—it really is not of any consequence whatever—but having made the discovery, they judge everybody by their newfound fad, and so spread a spirit that is contrary to the Spirit of Christ.”
