J.C. Ryle: Lord Jesus Christ

Karen — Fri, 07 May 2010 22:53:13 +0000

I fear the personality of our Lord is sadly lost sight of by many professors in the present day. Their talk is more about salvation than about the Savior; more about redemption than about the Redeemer; more about justification than about Jesus; more about Christ’s work than about Christ’s person. This is a great fault, and one that fully accounts for the dry and sapless character of the [Continue reading ...]

Return to Holy Reverence

Karen — Wed, 05 May 2010 22:22:59 +0000

“Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.” – Isaiah 52:13

One of the most tragic graces we have lost today in our Christianity is the fear of the LORD, and reverence for Jesus Christ, in particular. As the enemy, the world, or corrupt flesh delight to tear us away from God’s holy Word and the truth at the [Continue reading ...]

Spurgeon Quotes on Grace

Karen — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 11:32:03 +0000

Learn, then, that if you take Christ out of Christianity, Christianity is dead.

If you remove grace out of the gospel, the gospel is gone.

If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.

~ C.H. Spurgeon ~

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not [Continue reading ...]

C.H. Spurgeon: Look to Jesus

Karen — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 22:10:16 +0000

It is always the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus. But Satan’s work is just the opposite; he is constantly trying to make us look at ourselves instead of Christ.

He insinuates, ‘Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you do not [Continue reading ...]

C.H. Spurgeon: The Precious Blood of Christ

Karen — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:36:20 +0000

“The precious blood of Christ.”

1 Peter 1:19

Standing at the foot of the cross, we see hands, and feet, and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood. It is “precious” because of its redeeming and atoning efficacy. By it the sins of Christ’s people are atoned for; they are redeemed from under the law; they are reconciled to God, made one [Continue reading ...]

Salvation through Faith not Works

Karen — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 09:27:24 +0000

Faith in the Lord Jesus is the very key of salvation. He that has it has life, and he that has it not has not life. Nothing whatever beside this faith is necessary to our complete justification; but nothing whatever, except this faith, will give us an interest in Christ. We may fast and mourn for sin, and do many things that are right, and use religious ordinances, [Continue reading ...]

C.H. Spurgeon: Surrendered to My Shepherd

Karen — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:48:41 +0000

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” – John 10:27

“My SHEEP,” saith Christ, as he stands in the midst of his disciples. “My Shepherd,” let us one and all reply. All the sheep of Christ who have been redeemed by his power, become his by their own cheerful surrender of themselves to him. We would not belong to another if [Continue reading ...]

C.H. Spurgeon: Bought With A Price

Karen — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 10:35:33 +0000

“My sheep,” says Christ. They are his, furthermore, because, in addition to his choice and to the gift, he has bought them with a price. They had sold themselves for nought; but he has redeemed them, not with corruptible things as with silver and gold, but with his precious blood.

C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

C.H. Spurgeon: Pragmatism

Karen — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:38:01 +0000

One of the great evils of the time is that of deliberating about a plain command of Christ, and asking, “What will be the result of it?” What have you to do with results? “But if I follow Christ in all things, I may lose my position.” What have you to do with that? When a soldier is bidden to go up to the cannon’s [Continue reading ...]
