Secularism teaches us that we ought to look to this world. Christianity teaches us that the best way to prepare for this world is to be fully prepared for the next.
Charles SpurgeonLet me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed; and let my motto be, "Ready for either".
Charles SpurgeonWho among you today is doing the most for your Master's kingdom? I will tell you. Lend me a spiritual thermometer by which I may try the heat of your heart, and I will tell you the amount of your success.
Charles SpurgeonDay by day, we are becoming what we shall be eternally. The spirit who convicts us is also the spirit who consoles.
Charles SpurgeonEvery growth of spiritual life, from the first tender shoot until now, has been the work of the Holy Spirit.... The only way to more life is the Holy Spirit. You will not even know that you want more unless He works in you to desire it.... The Spirit of God must come and make the letter alive, transfer it to your heart, set it on fire, and make it burn within you, or else its divine force and majesty will be hid from your eyes.... Prayer is the creation of the Holy Spirit. We cannot do without prayer, and we cannot pray without the Holy Spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
