Common or priceless?

(Spurgeon, "Praises and Vows Accepted in Zion") We have our common mercies. We call them common, but, oh, how priceless they are! Health to be able to come here and not to be stretched on a bed of sickness, I count this better than bags of gold. To have our reason, and not to be confined in yonder a... Read More

Contemplating God's greatness!

From Spurgeon's sermon, "Fear Not" Lift up your eyes, behold the heavens, the work of God's fingers-- behold the sun guided in his daily march; go forth at midnight, and behold the heavens; consider the stars and the moon; look upon these works of God's hands, and if you be men of sense, and your so...

CONTEMPLATION OF DIVINITY...

From Spurgeon's, "The Immutability of God" The proper study of a Christian is the Godhead-- The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of ...

Dark and mysterious providences

(Octavius Winslow, "No Night There") Our journey is often dark, long, and weary. In the present life our path is at times draped with gloomy, painful, and inexplicable clouds.

Darkness of ignorance, dungeons of falsehood, chains of superstition!

from Spurgeon’s,"WHAT GOD CANNOT DO!" Truth once reigned supreme upon our globe, and then earth was Paradise. Man knew no sorrow while he was ignorant of falsehood. The Father of Lies invaded the garden of bliss, and with one foul lie he blighted Eden into a wilderness, and made man a traitor to his... Read More

Deluged with love!

God is the fountain of love, as the sun is the fountain of light. Every stream of holy love, yes, every drop that is, or ever was, proceeds from God. In heaven, this glorious God is manifested, and shines forth, in full glory, in beams of love. And there this glorious fountain forever flows forth in... Read More

Disaster!

(John MacDuff, "A Book for the Bereaved") "Does disaster come to a city, unless the Lord has done it?"

Disaster!

Spurgeon, "The Voice of the Cholera" "When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?" Amos 3:6 When cholera comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?

Does God need any of us?

Spurgeon, "GOOD NEWS FOR THE AGED" What! he who guides the stars, and keeps them revolving in their orbits by the motions of his fingers, does he need an insignificant atom like one of ourselves to serve him? What! he whom all the hosts of angels do worship, and before whose throne the cherubim do v... Read More

DON'T ARGUE!

by Spurgeon "To treat revelation as if it were a football to be kicked from man to man is irreverence." Two educated doctors are angrily discussing the nature of food, and allowing their meal to lie untasted, while a simple countryman is eating as heartily as he can of that which is set before him. ...

Each apparently capricious turn in life's way

(John MacDuff, "COMMUNION MEMORIES" 1886) The Christian has this promise of assured help, "My God shall supply all your needs, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus!" Phil. 4:19 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow!" Matthew 6:34 Ah, that future! that unknown, sometimes dark and chequer... Read More

Electing love!

Electing love has selected some of the worst of men to be made the best. Pebbles of the brook Grace turn into jewels for the Savior's crown. Worthless dross he transforms into pure gold. Redeeming love has set apart many of the worst of mankind to be the reward of the Savior's passion and death. Eff... Read More
Grace Quotes

ETERNAL, ABSOLUTE PREDESTINATION!

Spurgeon- "The Incarnation and Birth of Christ" Oh! we love the sublime doctrine of eternal absolute predestination. Some have doubted whether predestination is consistent with the free agency of man. We believe that man does as he pleases, yet notwithstanding he always does as God decrees. Man does... Read More

Even the little things!

Spurgeon, "God’s Will about the Future" There is a divine will which governs all things. Nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. Even the little things in life are not overlooked by the all-seeing eye. "The very hairs of your head are numbered." The station of a reed by the river... Read More

Even then!

by Spurgeon In the very beginning, when this great universe lay in the mind of God like unborn forests in the acorn-cup, long before the echoes walked the solitudes, before the mountains were brought forth, and long before the light flashed through the sky, God loved His chosen creatures! Before the... Read More

Every bitter cup

(John Bunyan) "My times are in Your hand." Psalm 31:15 Afflictions are governed by God, both as to . . . their time, their number, their nature, their measure.

Every child is totally depraved

(J. A. James, "The Sunday School Teacher's Guide" 1816) It is important for you, in all your exertions, to bear in mind the total and universal depravity of the human race.

Every particle of dust?

"I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes; that every particle of spray that dashes against the steamboat has its orbit as well as the sun in the heavens; that the chaff from the hand of the winnower is steered as surely as t...
