The saints are sinners still. Our best tears need to be wept over, the strongest faith is mixed with unbelief, our most flaming love is cold compared with what Jesus deserves, and our intensest zeal still lacks the full fervor which the bleeding wounds and pierced heart of the crucified might claim at our hands. Our best things need a sin offering, or they would condemn us.
Charles SpurgeonOur spiritual manhood in heaven will discard many things which we now count precious, as a full-grown man discards the treasures of his childhood.
Charles SpurgeonFAITH untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials.
Charles Spurgeon
