Many a text [of Scripture] is written in a secret ink which must be held to the fire of adversity to make it visible.
Charles SpurgeonI believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.
Charles SpurgeonWhen a man is saved by divine grace, he is not wholly cleansed from the corruption of his heart. When we believe in Jesus Christ all our sins are pardoned; yet the power of sin, albeit that it is weakened and kept under by the dominion of the new-born nature which God doth infuse into our souls, doth not cease, but still tarrieth in us, and will do so to our dying day.
