I believe your Spurgeon post today helped to save me $119.85 (well, actually $79.90 cause I was going to call within the first 20 min and get one payment off).<br /><br />I generally only watch infomercials while folding laundry. Today I got sucked into one on the 3 minute legs. Toning in 3 minutes - girls in bikinis giggling about the 5 inches they lost off their waste, hips, legs. I actually wrote the number down on a sheet of paper! I had 10 min left to get in on the deal --pressure--Then I remembered having read your post by Spurgeon this morning and it didn't take me long to snap out of my daze and realize that the real reason I wanted this thing was to look great.<br /><br />Why is this a constant temptation?!? I'm 43 yrs old! When will this end?!? (fade to memories of my grandmother's 8o something year old leathery skin from spending hour upon hour laying out in the sun). Come Lord Jesus!bphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265050268204322057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-53498451505619372412009-10-12T06:27:09.000-07:002009-10-12T06:27:09.000-07:00He is in glory now so I deem it okay to offer my r...He is in glory now so I deem it okay to offer my respect to Spurgeon.

My reading this weekend included John 5:44, which would almost certainly be the basis of a sermon like that: <br /><br />"How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?"trogdorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452996348717802065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-56017327810068725002009-10-11T23:11:48.783-07:002009-10-11T23:11:48.783-07:00Yet another thing I needed to hear!

I was thinking about this subject on and off this past week, and Spurgeon just nailed it with this quote:<br /><br /><i>That same spirit which makes us love the praise of men makes us dread the threats of men. </i><br /><br />Amen!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289347868497438542noreply@blogger.com
