Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible; you open its cage and let it roar.
Charles SpurgeonOh, the hard, cruel thoughts which men have toward one another when they are angry! They kill and slay a thousand times over. These hasty sins are soon forgotten by us, but they are not forgotten by God.
Charles SpurgeonThe reputations of the Lord's people should be very precious in our sight...We may ourselves one of these dark days need forbearance and silence from our brethren, let us render it cheerfully to those who require it now. Be this our family rule, and our personal bond: Speak evil of no man.
Charles Spurgeon
