I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!

A holy life is in itself a wonderful power, and will make up for many deficiencies it is in fact the best sermon a man can ever deliver.

Image
True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is the holy reasoning of love it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To acknowledge you were wrong yesterday is to acknowledge you are wiser today.

If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?
