Charles H. Spurgeon
To remember your pastor before the Lord means you are thinking about him in the presence of God, so you are less likely to be negative toward him.
— Peter Orr
God is the highest good of the reasonable creature. The enjoyment of him is our proper; and is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of any, or all earthly friends. These are but shadows; but the enjoyment of God is the substance. These are but scattered beams; but God is the sun. These are but streams; but God is the fountain. These are but drops, but God is the ocean.
Jesus came for the 1st time as a sacrificial lamb to die for our sins. He was oppressed and afflicted - didn't defend Himself. Soon, He will return as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah", as a KING ready for battle to reign over the earth. The time to come to Jesus the Lamb is now!!

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long. -

J.C. Ryle
If we never have headaches through rebuking our children, we shall have plenty of heartaches when they grow up.- Charles Spurgeon
God owes us nothing but wrath, but He chooses to favor us with grace in Christ.
"The damned are miserable; let the saved be happy." — Charles Spurgeon
"Within the body of Christ, there is no one individual who can do everything, no matter how godly or how gifted they might be." —Alistair Begg
"Everything that has to do with Christ’s work is of real, practical, vital consequence to believers. He is to be the food for our souls. Faith is to receive him; love is to embrace him; hope is to rejoice in him." - Charles Spurgeon
