Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip
Charles SpurgeonIf you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation.
Charles SpurgeonMan loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
Charles SpurgeonAlas! Much has been done of late to promote the production of dwarfish Christians. Poor, sickly believers turn the church into an hospital, rather than an army. Oh, to have a church built up with the deep godliness of people who know the Lord in their very hearts, and will seek to follow the Lamb wherever he goes!
