The motto of all true servants of God must be, โWe preach Christ; and him crucified.โ A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.
Charles SpurgeonAlas, if our children lose the crown of life, it will be but a small consolation that they have won the laurels of literature or art.
Charles SpurgeonAll earthly suns have their spots: the fair world itself has its wilderness. We cannot love the whole of most lovely things: but Christ Jesus is gold without alloy-light without darkness- glory without cloud. 'Yea, He is altogether lovely.'
Charles Spurgeon
