We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .
― Charles Spurgeon


Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.
― C. H. Spurgeon


Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon


If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.
― Charles Spurgeon


A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.
― Charles Spurgeon


Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.
― Charles Spurgeon


When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
― Charles Spurgeon
(Philippians 2:13, KJV)

The Living God must always be
the Standard of All Truth.
My life forever is in He,
Who formed me in my youth.

The Living God can never once
relinquish aught of pow'r.
The thought of this is an affront
to Safety's lone High Tow'r.

The Living God must stand Alone,
outside the Day of Time.
How else could He for Sin atone
so finally in His Prime?

The Living God is living large,
and we are living small.
Our search for Truth from it diverge
before we on Him call.

The Living God must stand unmatched
by any pow'r thought near.
Blest Truth from all are unattached,
that Truth be truly clear.

The Living God has lived for aye,
and will live evermore.
He makes of life the lasting Day
with bless-ed more in store.

The Living God in righteousness
must judge and not acquit
for Justice doth one Standard bless.
Perfection can remit.

The Living God knows, that we fail.
Perfection we can't be.
This Standard of the Holy Grail
makes lost one out of me.

The Living God makes saved fore'er
this me, so hopeless, lost.
Redeemed I am through Sin made bare
to Christ, Who paid the cost.

The Living God once bore my cross.
He died, that I might live.
He rose, again, full paid my loss,
eternal life to give.
(John 3:16; John 6:37,44)
