The Cross was the place of your spiritual birth; it must ever be the spot for renewing your health, for it is the sanatorium of every sin-sick soul. The blood is the true balm of Gilead; it is the only catholicon [remedy] which heals every spiritual disease.
Charles SpurgeonDon't drown the man who taught you to swim. If you learned your trade or profession from the man, do not set up in opposition to him.
Charles SpurgeonLet us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.
Charles SpurgeonYou are not mature if you have a high esteem of yourself. He who boasts in himself is but a babe in Christ, if indeed he be in Christ at all. Young Christians may think much of themselves. Growing Christians think themselves nothing. Mature Christians know that they are less than nothing. The more holy we are, the more we mourn our infirmities, and the humbler is our estimate of ourselves.
Charles Spurgeon
