Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. Great faith must have great trials.
Charles SpurgeonFrom the descent of the Holy Spirit at the beginning we may learn something concerning His operations at the present time. Remember at the outset that whatever the Holy Spirit was at the first, He is that now, for as God, He remains forever the same-whatever He did then He is able to do still, for His power is by no means diminished.
Charles SpurgeonTo throw the Christian into the furnace is to put him into Christ's parlor; for lo! Jesus Christ is walking with him.
