“So the first effect of Christianity is to make people stop and think. They are not simply overawed by some great occasion. They say, “No, I must face this. I must think.”..the greatest trouble is that men and women go through life without thinking. Or they think for a moment but find it painful, so they stop and turn to a bottle of whiskey or television or something else—anything to forget.” Martin Lloyd Jones
These are Charles Haddon Spurgeon quotes:
“It has been said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but only empties today of its strength. “
“Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.”
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you, will remember you when forget-me-nots are withered. Carve your name on hearts, and not on marble.
None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves. ~Spurgeon
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth. ~Spurgeon
I go through my days, I forget to pray, I push aside deep thought for Christ, put off my Bible reading. I get caught up in the world. Fears and doubts creep in, small at first, then they grow. Oh Lord help me to be faithful. Thank you for YOUR faithfulness and for your love that will not let me go.
Are you a true believer? If you are, you ought to glory in Christ. Glory not in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, your own prayers, your own amendment, your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ. Alas! the best of us know but little of that merciful and mighty Saviour. We do not exalt Him and glory in Him enough. Let us pray that we may see more of the fulness there is in Him.
