If He had not known with certainty that He would be Master over sin and that out of evil would evolve the noblest display of His own glory, He would not have permitted it to enter the world.
Charles SpurgeonDefend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible; you open its cage and let it roar.
Charles SpurgeonA godly man often grows best when his worldly circumstances decay. He who follows Christ for his bag is a Judas; they who follow for loaves and fishes are children of the devil; but they who attend Him out of love to Himself are His own beloved ones. Lord, let me find my life in Thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.
Charles Spurgeon
