The Gospel is like a caged lion. It does not need to be defended, it just needs to be let out of its cage.
Charles SpurgeonYou will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ.
Charles SpurgeonI would to God that saints would cling to Christ half as earnestly as sinners cling to the devil. If we were as willing to suffer for God as some are to suffer for their lusts, what perseverance and zeal would be seen on all sides!
Charles SpurgeonPoor human nature cannot bear such strains as heavenly triumphs bring to it; there must come a reaction. Excess of joy or excitement must be paid for by subsequent depressions. While the trial lasts, the strength is equal to the emergency; but when it is over, natural weakness claims the right to show itself.
Charles Spurgeon
