Image
There is not land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place... Let the Bible be opened to be read by all men, and no tyrant can long rule in peace... The religion of Jesus makes men think, and to make men think is always dangerous to a despot's power.

Anything is a blessing which makes us pray.
Charles Spurgeon

It is not the strength of your faith that saves you, but the strength of Him upon whom you rely! Christ is able to save you if you come to Him-be your faith weak or be it strong.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, to have “the word of Christ” always dwelling inside of us-in the memory, never forgotten in the heart, always loved in the understanding, really grasped with all the powers and passions of the mind fully submitted to its control!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Delayed answers to prayer are not only trials of faith they also give us opportunities to honor God through our steadfast confidence in Him, even when facing the apparent denial of our request.

If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.
