To be laughed at is no great hardship to me. I can delight in scoffs and jeers. Caricatures, lampoons, and slanders are my glory. But that you should turn from your own mercy, this is my sorrow. Spit on me, but, oh, repent! Laugh at me, but, oh, believe in my Master! Make my body as the dirt of the streets, but damn not your own souls!
Charles SpurgeonPreach Christ or nothing: don't dispute or discuss except with your eye on the cross.
Charles SpurgeonIt has come to be a dreadfully common belief in the Christian Church that the only man who has a โcallโ is the man who devotes all his time to what is called โthe ministry,โ whereas all Christian service is ministry, and every Christian has a call to some kind of ministry or another.
Charles Spurgeon
