The sum total of all human knowledge is but as a drop of the bucket compared with the wisdom of God.

The Blessing of Pain and Difficulty – Charles Spurgeon
I have often looked gratefully back to my sick chamber. I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

Regardless of how you feel – Charles Spurgeon
If we never do any work for Christ except when we feel up to the mark, we shall not do much. If we feel that we will not pray because we cannot pray, we shall never pray.

Our Lord’s Obedience – Charles Spurgeon
Our Lord’s obedience was as deep as it was broad, for his zeal to do the will of him that sent him consumed him. He says himself, “I delight to do thy will, O my God, yea thy law is within my heart.” Such righteousness he puts upon all believers.

Enabling Grace – Charles Spurgeon
Grace makes us the servants of God while still we are the servants of men: it enables us to do the business of heaven while we are attending to the business of earth: It sanctifies the common duties of life by showing us how to perform them in the light of heaven.

Do this if you want be holy – Charles Spurgeon
If you think you can walk in holiness without keeping up perpetual fellowship with Christ, you have made a great mistake. If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.

The riddle of the Christian life – Charles Spurgeon
The Christian’s life is a matchless riddle. No worldling can understand it. Dead, yet alive! Crucified with Christ, and yet at the same time Risen with Christ in newness of life! Union with the suffering, bleeding Saviour, and death to the world and sin, are soul-cheering things. O for more enjoyment of them.

Trials teach us – Charles Spurgeon
Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
