Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.
Charles SpurgeonThe Gospel is like a caged lion; you don't have to defend it - just let it out of the cage.
Charles SpurgeonThe 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 Spurgeon
