Charles Spurgeon
Only he is fit to preach who cannot avoid preaching, who feels that woe is upon him unless he preach the gospel
Charles Spurgeon
Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive!
Charles Spurgeon
We must meditate, brothers. These grapes will yield no wine we tread upon it.
Charles Spurgeon
Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.
