We must do business in great waters; we must be really on the deck in a storm, if we would see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. We must have stood side by side with King David; we must have gone down into the pit to slay the lion or have lifted up the spear against the eight hundred, if we would know the saving strength of God's right hand. Conflicts bring experience, and experience brings that growth in grace which is not to be attained by any other means.

Charles SpurgeonThe way to do a great deal is to keep on doing a little. The way to do nothing at all is to be continually resolving that you will do everything.
Charles SpurgeonDo you find it difficult to forgive one who has wronged you? Then you will find it difficult to get to heaven.
Charles SpurgeonI met another man who considered himself perfect, but he was thoroughly mad; and I do not believe that any of the pretenders to perfection are better than good maniacs... for while a man has got a spark of reason left in him, he cannot, unless he is the most impudent of impostors, talk about being perfect.
