If you meet with a system of theology which magnifies man, flee from it as far as you can.
Charles SpurgeonMen turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven; why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.
Charles SpurgeonGo forth today, by the help of God's Spirit, vowing and declaring that in life - come poverty, come wealth, in death - come pain or come what may, you are and ever must be the Lord's. For this is written on your heart, 'We love Him because He first loved us.'
Charles SpurgeonThe sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles SpurgeonI am afraid that all the grace that I have got of my comfortable and easy times and happy hours, might almost lie on a penny. But the good that I have received from my sorrows, and pains, and griefs, is altogether incalculable โฆ Affliction is the best bit of furniture in my house. It is the best book in a ministerโs library.
Charles SpurgeonGive yourself unto reading. The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other menโs brains, proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read. . . . We are quite persuaded that the very best way for you to be spending your leisure time, is to be either reading or praying. You may get much instruction from books which afterwards you may use as a true weapon in your Lord and Masterโs service. Paul cries, โBring the booksโ โ join in the cry.
