The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob these deep thinkers cannot endure, but if you say that God is angry with the wicked every day, these modern god-makers tell you that he is too loving for that,—that he cannot possibly be angry, but loves all, has redeemed all, and will in the long run save all, including Satan himself. C.H. Spurgeon Men seem to think that God is under obligation to grant salvation to guilty men; that if [Continue reading ...] “To whom be glory for ever.” This should be the single desire of the Christian. I take it that he should not have twenty wishes, but only one. He may desire to see his family well brought up, but only that “To God may be glory for ever.” He may wish for prosperity in his business, but only so far as it may help him to promote this—“To whom be glory for ever.” He may desire to attain more [Continue reading ...] Better in the abyss of truth than on the summit of falsehood. C.H. Spurgeon The line of truth is narrow as a razor’s edge. C.H. Spurgeon The safest truth is the simplest. C.H. Spurgeon We hope to understand the truth better, but we shall never discover better truth. C.H. Spurgeon He that perverts truth shall soon be incapable of knowing the true from the false. If you persist in wearing glasses that distort, everything will [Continue reading ...] The first step astray is a want of adequate faith in the divine inspiration of the sacred Scriptures. C.H. Spurgeon In looking carefully over the history of the times, and the movement of the times, of which we have written briefly, this fact is apparent: that where ministers and Christian churches have held fast to the truth that the Holy Scriptures have been given by God as an authoritative and infallible rule of faith and practice, they have [Continue reading ...] “They are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful.” Romans 1:20-21 This first chapter of the Epistle to the Romans is a dreadful portion of the Word of God. I should hardly like to read it all through aloud; it is not intended to be so used. Read it at home, and be startled at the awful vices of the Gentile world. Unmentionable crimes were the common pleasures of those [Continue reading ...] A whetstone, though it cannot cut, may sharpen a knife that will. C.H. Spurgeon If I had any human master he would have been out of patience with me long ago, but the Lord Jesus Christ never gives up a scholar; having once commenced to teach, he continues his divine lessons till they are fully learned, and the more difficult it is for him to teach the more honour it will be when he gets all his [Continue reading ...] The cities of Sodom and Gomorrha are bright as the sun goes down. The inhabitants are merry with boisterous laughter, there is plenty in the barn, there is luxury in the hall, for the plain of Sodom was well watered and lacked for nothing. Down went the sun upon a disastrous eve, never to rise upon the most of those who were in that doomed city. At day-break, just as the sun is beginning to shine upon the earth, angels had [Continue reading ...] For Christ’s sake the Christian man is henceforth obliged to be separated in many respects from such of his family and kindred as remain in their sins. They are living according to the flesh, they are seeking this world; their pleasure is here, their comfort below the skies. The man who is called by grace lives in the same house, but lives not under the influence of the same motives, nor is he ruled by the same desires. He is so different from [Continue reading ...] |
