I was listening to a MacArthur sermon this morning and he quoted Spurgeon. I thought it quite direct and profound.
If you feel your tongue itch to talk nonsense, trace it to the devil, not to the Spirit of God!

It’s a nice house, too, something that just two years ago we couldn’t have hoped to own. Adding to that it’s our second home, in just a couple years. Two nice cars sit in our garage. One of them is even a Lexus.  And yet this is not the life I wished for all those years ago. So if all my wildest dreams didn’t come true why do I feel so blessed? Because enough of my dreams came true to make me realize I wasn’t really in need of fulfillment in all the ways I could imagine. I was in desperate need to be fulfilled in all the ways I COULDN’T imagine. There was once a ship looking for shore when the saw in the distance an island. The crew then noticed a boat leaving that island. Coming alongside the crew gave salutations to which the other crew exclaim...
