The moment we glorify ourselves, since there is room for one glory only in the universe, we set ourselves up as rivals to the Most High.
Charles SpurgeonJesus is humble, and His servants must not be proud; but Jesus was never mean or cowardly, nor must His servants be. There was no braver man than Christ. He could stoop to save a soul, but He would stoop to nothing by which His character might be compromised or truth and righteousness insulted. To preach the Gospel boldly is to deliver it as such a message ought to be delivered. Blush to preach of a dying Saviour? Apologize for talking about the Son of God condescending to be made man that He might redeem us from all iniquity? Never!
Charles SpurgeonYou are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Spirit is to ensure defeat.
Charles SpurgeonSometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery; restoring the prodigal to the Fatherโs house, and never making him say, โFather, I have sinned.โ
