A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
“We are too formal,” cried Dr. Alexander Whyte. “We have too much starch in our souls.” And he went on, in his downright way: “Starch is more deadly than sin. Your soul may be saved from sin, but scarcely from starch.”. . . Do not think that personal idiosyncrasies are merely to be suppressed and leveled out. Be yourself. . . Be yourself, then; but also, forget yourself. You are to use for the delivery of the Word every faculty God has given you; and simultaneously you are to renounce yourself utterly, so that in the end the messenger shall be nothing, the message everything. You are not to cramp or stifle your individuality; but you are to offer it so completely to God upon the altar that, when the service closes, the dominating thought in the worshippers’ minds will be, not of any obtrusive human proficiency or cleverness, but only this—“The Lord was in His holy temple today!”
Heralds of God - James Stewart
