Many books in my library are now behind and beneath me. They were good in their way once, and so were the clothes I wore when I was ten years old but I have outgrown them. Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.

Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We declare, upon Scriptural authority, that the human will is so desperately set on mischief, so depraved, and so inclined to everything that is evil, and so disinclined to everything that is good, that without the powerful, supernatural, irresistible influence of the Holy Spirit, no human will ever be constrained towards Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We fear not God because of any compulsion our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure, our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.

Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
