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

Away from the manger? O, let me not be
denying my Savior, Who gave full and free.
The days are now fleeting. He comes for us soon.
O, can we not heed Him, Whose Life is our boon?

Away from the manger? I dare think it not
this awful, great danger, the enemy's plot.
I love You, Lord Jesus, You died to redeem
my life from destruction, forever to gleem.

Away from the manger? O, make it ne'er so.
Remind me You came to make me e'er grow.
I'll praise You forever, Dear God-made-a-Man.
I've nothing more precious than near You to stand.

Today in the manger. Tomorrow the cross.
Creator and Savior, Redeemer from loss.
Each human You made is dear to Your Heart.
This Lion forever's the Lamb from the start.

The stable, a Door to enter Your Bliss.
Your Bliss was before You came us to kiss.
The Babe in the hay, the God on the Throne.
Forever You rule, Yourself All Alone.
