You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.
Charles SpurgeonMi fe no descansa en lo que soy, o lo que serรฉ, o como me siento, o lo que sรฉ, sino en lo que Cristo รฉs, en lo que รฉl ha hecho, y en lo que รฉl estรก haciendo en mรญ - My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
