Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.
Charles SpurgeonDear brethren, this is exactly what we have to do, we have to pawn the present for the future. We must be satisfied to give up anything which Christ may require of us for the sake of that which is to come. Our inheritance is not on this side of Jordan. Our joy is yet to be revealed. I grant you that we have much thrown in, for the Lord is a good paymaster; but on the road to heaven he gives us only our spending money.
Charles SpurgeonIf you meet with a system of theology which magnifies man, flee from it as far as you can.
Charles Spurgeon
