Are you ready for Sunday?

from Chris Brauns...

Why not spend some time on Friday and Saturday plowing the ground in your life in preparation for Sunday?

"We are told men ought not to preach without preparation. Granted. But we add, men ought not to hear without preparation. Which, do you think needs the most preparation, the sower or the ground? I would have the sower come with clean hands, but I would have the ground well-plowed and harrowed, well-turned over, and the clods broken before the seed comes in. It seems to me that there is more preparation needed by the ground, than by the sower, more by the hearer than by the preacher." -- Charles Spurgeon.

Quoted in the recommended, Expository Listening, by Ken Ramey.
