To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
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 SpurgeonYou cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.
Charles Spurgeon
