One of my regular, favorite practices is to read great quotes from my heroes in the faith.
Here’s some quotes by “The Prince of Preachers,” Charles Haddon Spurgeon, on various topics, in no particular order- Enjoy!
If you sincerely drink poison, it will kill you: if you sincerely cut your throat, you will
die. If you sincerely believe a lie, you will suffer the consequences. You must not only
be sincere, but you must be right.
There is no man who ever sins without having some trace of it left upon his mind and
heart. For one thing, it is more easy for him to sin the next time. An impulse has
been given, and a habit begun, which will make it almost inevitable that he shall fall
into that particular sin again.
You do not understand: do you wish to understand? Nothing is so incomprehensible
as that which we do not want to comprehend.
From what little I do know of this wonderful thing called “society,” I have felt no
ambition to partake in its felicities; and yet to get into society I have seen men fling
away their principles, forsake their friends, stifle their consciences, abandon their
church fellowship, and become traitors to their God.
Swelling words have been spoken and great attempts taken in hand to renovate
society, but you can never renovate society till you have renovated the individual
members who compose society.
The act of prayer is blessed, the habit of prayer is more blessed, but the spirit of
prayer is the most blessed of all; and it is this that we can continue for months and
years.
Obedience rendered without delight in rendering it is only half obedience.
The true Christian, when he is in a healthy spiritual state, has always some good
work on hand,—something on the anvil, or something heating in the fire, or
something cooling in the water,—something that he is planning for the future,
something that has yet to be completed, or something that is just finished, and ready
to be presented to God,—a prayer to offer, a hymn to sing, the sick to visit, the poor
to relieve, the ignorant to instruct.
Let us look for the silver which lines every cloud, and when we do not see it let us
believe that it is there.
Much love!
