The more grace a man has,the more he feels his deficiency of grace. The best of men are but men at the best, and the brightest saints are still sinners, for whom there is still a fountain open, that even they may still continue, with all their lofty attainments, to wash therein, and to be clean.

Ps 22:16. “For dogs have compassed me.” Here he marks the more ignoble crowd, who, while less strong than their brutal leaders, were not less ferocious, for there they were howling and barking like unclean and hungry dogs!

The Precious Blood of Christ!by Spurgeon- Standing at the foot of the cross, we see his hands, and feet,and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood.

THE PRECIOUSNESS OF THE PROMISESBy Spurgeon The promises of God are to the believer an ‘inexhaustiblemine of wealth’. Happy is it for him if he knows how tosearch out their secret veins and enrich himself withtheir hidden treasures. They are an ‘armoury’, containing all manner of offensive anddefensive weapons. Blessed is he who has learned to […]
