a quote of the day

I don't usually post quotes without comment since I blog to share thoughts in me stirred by various quotes, or else the thoughts I had which brought a certain quote to mind. However, I thought I'd share this from Charles Spurgeon unencumbered.

You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.
