The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me; apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be; lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
Charles SpurgeonWhen you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
Charles Spurgeon
