Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
Charles SpurgeonDefend the Bible? I would as soon defend a lion! Unchain it and it will defend itself.
Charles SpurgeonIf a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ's name in it, it ought to be his last.
Charles SpurgeonTrials make more room for consolation. There is nothing that makes a man have a big heart like a great trial. I always find that little, miserable people, whose hearts are about the size of a grain of mustard seed, never have had much to try them. I have found that those people who have no sympathy for their fellows — who never weep for the sorrows of others — very seldom have had any woes of their own. Great hearts can only be made by great troubles.
