Christian, beware of thinking lightly of sin. Take heed in case you fall little by little.
Charles SpurgeonTo Christ we are to be always coming; upon Him always relying; to His precious blood always looking.
Charles SpurgeonThe fear of God is the death of every other fear; like a mighty lion, it chases all other fears before it.
Charles SpurgeonIn seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on God alone. When no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God--and God alone!
Charles SpurgeonChrist also takes from us all inclination or power to boast of our national prestige. To me, it is prestige enough to be a Christian--to bear the cross Christ gives me to carry and to follow in the footsteps of the great Crossbearer.
Charles SpurgeonIt is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less. On, on, on for ever, without recreation may suit spirits emancipated from this 'heavy clay', but while we are in this tabernacle, we must every now and then cry halt, and serve the Lord by holy inaction and consecrated leisure. Let no tender conscience doubt the lawfulness of going out of harness for a while
