In proportion as a church is holy, in that proportion will its testimony for Christ be powerful.
Charles SpurgeonHave your heart right with Christ, and he will visit you often, and so turn weekdays into Sundays, meals into sacraments, homes into temples, and earth into heaven.
Charles SpurgeonIf God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.
Charles SpurgeonThe Spirit of God bears no witness to Christless sermons. Leave Jesus out of your preaching, and the Holy Spirit will never come upon you. Why should he? Has he not come on purpose that he may testify of Christ? Did not Jesus say, โHe shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto youโ? Yes, the subject was Christ, and nothing but Christ, and such is the teaching which the Spirit of God will own. Be it ours never to wander from this central point: may we determine to know nothing among men but Christ and his cross.
