Dear 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 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 SpurgeonBetween here and heaven, every minute that the Christian lives will be a minute of grace.
Charles SpurgeonChrist did not die to make his Father loving, but because his Father is loving: the atoning blood is the outflow of the very heart of God toward us.
