...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.

Image
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God!

Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.

I long for nothing more earnestly than to serve God with all my might.

Prayer is the best response to hatred.

So long as we are receivers of mercy, we must be givers of thanks.

When home is ruled according to God's Word, angels might be asked to stay a night with us, and they would not find themselves out of their element.

The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.
