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 –
Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt [in] every situation you believe to be the will of God.
– Jim Elliot –
from his journals
No sort of defense is needed for preaching outdoors, but it would take a very strong argument to prove that a man who has never preached beyond the walls of his meetinghouse has done his duty. A defense is required for services within buildings rather than for worship outside of them.
– William Booth –
I cannot agree with those who say that they have “new truth” to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other; that which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God Himself.
– Charles Spurgeon –
It’s not crossing the sea that makes you a missionary, it’s seeing the cross that does.
– Mr. and Mrs. Osborne –
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 –
from his sermon: Christ Crucified
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 –
from his sermon: The Man of One Subject
Learn to say, “No,” and it will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin.
– Charles Spurgeon –
You’re either a missionary or you’re a mission field.
