If the devil never roars, the Church will never sing! God is not doing much if the devil is not awake and busy. Depend upon it: a working Christ makes a raging devil! When you hear ill reports, cruel speeches, threats, taunts and the like, believe that the Lord is among His people and is working gloriously.
Charles SpurgeonAnything which you have in this world, which you do not consecrate to Christ's cause, you do rob the Lord of.
Charles SpurgeonLove never asks what benefit it will derive from love. Love from its very nature is a disinterested thing. It loves for the creature's sake it loves, and for nothing else.
Charles Spurgeon
