What a beggarly thing it is for a man only to do his work well when he is watched. Such oversight is for boys at school and mere hirelings. Spurgeon
Men and women who hear the Gospel regularly, I often fear much for you. I fear lest you become so familiar with the sounds of its doctrines, that you gradually become dead to its power. I fear lest your religion should sink down into a little vague talk about your own weakness and corruption, and a few sentimental expressions about Christ, while real practical fighting on Christ’s side is altogether neglected. Oh, beware of this state of mind! “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” No victory—no crown! Fight and overcome! ~ J.C. Ryle
Blessed is he who expects nothing of poor flesh and blood, for he shall never be disappointed. Spurgeon
When the wheel turns, those who are lowest rise, and the highest sink. Patience, then, believer, eternity will right the wrongs of time. Spurgeon
"Boast not of Christ's work for you, unless you can show us the Spirit's work in you." ~ J.C. Ryle
I am not so much troubled about how evil came into the world as about helping get it out. Spurgeon
"How many Christians really harbor within their own spirit the daily expectation of God's presence?" AW Tozer
I have come to reckon that nothing is worth seeking after but that which will survive the tomb. Spurgeon
