I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a manโs heart unless you first send the needle of the Law to make way for it.
Charles SpurgeonA high character might be produced, I suppose, by continued prosperity, but it has very seldom been the case. Adversity, however it may appear to be our foe, is our true friend; and, after a little acquaintance with it, we receive it as a precious thing - the prophecy of a coming joy. It should be no ambition of ours to traverse a path without a thorn or stone.
Charles SpurgeonIf we cannot believe God when circumstances seem be against us, we do not believe Him at all.
Charles Spurgeon
