It’s important to understand that when socialists talk about The People, they mean themselves as representatives of the people, talking on behalf of the people. They have zero interest in the values or views that regular people hold.

“Do not suppose, when you are depressed, that you are not growing.” — Charles Spurgeon

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure

“Those who want to ‘spread the wealth’ almost invariably seek to concentrate the power. It happens too often, and in too many different countries around the world, to be a coincidence. Which is more dangerous, inequalities of wealth or concentrations of power?” — Thomas Sowell

Those who look to idols become like them (Psa 135:15-18). Those who look to the Lord are radiant (Psa 34:5). You will become like whatever you fix your gaze upon.

“These seasons of dryness and darkness are not punishments but purifications.” — @KennethBoa, Conformed to His Image

“You can never be poor while Jesus is rich, since you are one with him.” — Charles Spurgeon

Surround yourself with people who see a flying car and say, "Awesome!" Not people who see a flying car and say, "It's not actually flying" or "I don't see the point." This post is not about cars :)

Everyone since the 1960s, including socialists: “Where are our flying cars? We should have flying cars by now!” Socialists, the moment someone invents one: “Nobody asked for this! Nobody needs this! Think of the poor! The inventor should give away his fortune!” They demand a future of abundance while condemning the ambition, innovation, investment, and profit required to create it. They want the fruits of progress while vilifying those who produce them. Socialists truly are their own worst enemies, opposing the very means of achieving what they claim to want.

How much they possess who live the life of faith in the Son of God and believe in Jesus! With all their weaknesses and crosses they have that which the world can neither give nor take away. They have a true Friend while they live, and a true home when they die. J. C. Ryle

“Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries. Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his ‘basic rights.’” — Thomas Sowell

“[In Reformed churches], we move too quickly from the Word to theology in our preaching. And we don't really let the Word as it stands speak to the people. We're saying a lot of true things, but it may not be the Word itself that's allowed to speak.” -W. Robert Godfrey

“You have cursed God; he has not fulfilled his curse on you.” — Charles Spurgeon

“Whatever else we have lost, we have not lost our God.” — Charles Spurgeon

"Prayer is a privilege. Worship is never a weariness." — Charles Spurgeon

“We count nothing to be riches, but that which makes us rich towards God.” — Charles Spurgeon
