The iron bolt...mysteriously fastens the door of hope and holds our spirits in a gloomy prison.
Charles SpurgeonShow the world that your God is worth ten thousand worlds to you. Show rich men how rich you are in your poverty when the Lord God is your helper. Show the strong man how strong you are in your weakness when underneath you are the everlasting arms.
Charles SpurgeonThe Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy; my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.
Charles SpurgeonPleasure, so called, is the murderer of serious thought. This is the age of excessive amusement. Everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle!
Charles SpurgeonI slew him-this right hand struck the dagger to his heart. My deeds slew Christ. Alas! I slew my best beloved; I killed him who loved me with an everlasting love. Oh eyes, why do you refuse to weep when you see Jesus' body mangled and torn? Give vent to your sorrow, Christians, for you have good reason to do so.
Charles Spurgeon
