Heaven in his face
Things have been absolutely crazy since I’ve gotten back from T4G. Blogging has had to take a back seat. Hopefully some of the events of days past will make it into more thoughtful blog form in the coming days. God has been faithful to keep the cross before my eyes in the midst of many difficulties.
But for now, I leave you with CH Spurgeon commenting on a Christian’s–and specifically a minister’s–demeanor.
“I commend cheerfulness to all who would win souls; not levity or frothiness, but a genial happy spirit. There are more flies caught with honey than with vinegar, and there will be more souls led to heaven by a man who wears heaven in his face than by one who bears Tartarus in his looks.”
- C.H. Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students: Complete and Unabridged (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1979), 170.
