You cannot be Christโs servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all. What do you crave? A crown? Then it must be a crown of thorns if you are to be like him. Do you want to be lifted up? So you shall, but it will be upon a cross.
Charles SpurgeonThere is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
Charles SpurgeonA Christian man should so shine in his life, that a person could not live with him a week without knowing the gospel.
Charles SpurgeonThe distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great; but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house; they have not gone far off; they are upstairs and we are down below.
Charles Spurgeon
