Anything that cools my love for Christ is “the world.”

A Passionate Joy in Your Spirit – Keith Green
It seems to me that there are but few who really live with a passion for God—especially a passion just to be with Him. Today there is such a noise coming up before the throne of the Most High—the clamor of so-called praise, singing, and joyful shouting. But I wonder if the same people who love to sing and shout, loudly exclaiming the praises of God, really have such an intense glory in their secret life with the Lord. When the meeting’s over and there’s no one there to listen except the only One who matters, do you still have that same passionate joy in your spirit, just to be alone with the Living God?

The Mark of True Gospel Preaching – Charles Spurgeon
Let this be to you the mark of true gospel preaching—where Christ is everything, and the creature is nothing; where it is salvation all of grace, through the work of the Holy Spirit applying to the soul the precious blood of Jesus.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The Magnitude of Sin – Charles Spurgeon
But we arrive at a more adequate idea of the magnitude of sin by the greatness of the remedy provided. It is the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s only and well-beloved Son. God’s Son!

No Sacrifice Too Great – CT Studd
If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.

The God Who Promised – George Kulp
The God who promised that He would take you through, no matter what may befall, is the same today, He will see you through until your soul shall be gladdened one day in the city where the sun never goes down. If I had my choice, I would rather be the son of a poor Christian man, rich with the promises of God, than to be the son of any millionaire on earth who did not know God. I would rather lean on God’s Word than on any man’ s money.

Spoken and Demonstrated Gospel – Stephen Manley
The message [of the Gospel] is not just a spoken message but also a demonstrated message.

Jesus and Him Crucified – Charles Spurgeon
As for myself, I can truly say that Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the sum of all knowledge to me. He is the highest intellectualism! He is the grandest philosophy to which my mind can attain! He is the pinnacle that rises loftier than my highest aspirations and deeper than this great Truth of God I wish never to fathom! Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the sum total of all I want to know and of all the Doctrines which I profess and preach!
– Charles Spurgeon –

Keep Within The Limits of Christ – Charles Spurgeon
Keep within the limits of Christ, and Him crucified, and you have brought before men all the essentials for this life and for the life to come! You have given them the root out of which may grow both branch and flower and fruit of holy thought, word and deed.
– Charles Spurgeon –
