Don't drown the man who taught you to swim. If you learned your trade or profession from the man, do not set up in opposition to him.
Charles SpurgeonThere is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.

Charles SpurgeonThis is faith, receiving the truth of Christ; first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.
Charles SpurgeonSometimes a fog will settle over a vessel's deck and yet leave the topmast clear. Then a sailor goes up aloft and gets a lookout which the helmsman on deck cannot get. So prayer sends the soul aloft; lifts it above the clouds in which our selfishness and egotism befog us, and gives us a chance to see which way to steer.
Charles Spurgeon
