Andrew Murray Quote for the Week of September 29th 2013

"In the Church of our day it is to be feared that the great majority of believers have no conception of their calling to be perfect. They do not have the slightest idea that it is their duty not only to be Christian, but to be as eminently spiritual, as full of grace and holiness, as it is possible for God to make them."

Pastor Jacob Birch and Andrew Murray's Quote to Muse Over this Week

Andrew Murray continues to hammer my soul each Monday as I read his "little" book The Secret of God's Presence. The line from this morning's chapter that got me was:

As the inner life of the Church grew feeble, the spiritual truth was lost in external observances and the fellowship of the poverty of Jesus was scarcely to be seen. (page 56)
