Contemplating God’s greatness! (Charles Spurgeon) “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place — what is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that You care for him?” Psalm 8:3-4 Lift up your eyes, behold the heavens, the […]
Who makes you different from anyone else? (Charles Spurgeon) “Who maketh thee to differ from another? What hast thou, that thou did’t not receive? And if thou dids’t receive it, why dost thou boast as if thou hads’t not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:7 It is grace—free sovereign grace, which has made you to differ! […]
The grand object of the eye of faith! (Charles Spurgeon) “We fix our eyes not on what is seen—but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal!” 2 Corinthians 4:18 In our Christian pilgrimage it is well for the most part to be looking forward. Forward lies […]

One perfect sweet! (The following is by Spurgeon) “You are fairer than the children of men.” Psalm 45:2 The entire person of Jesus is but as one gem, and his life is all along but one impression of the seal.

Salvation by Grace! by Spurgeon- No sinner will ever come to Christ apart from the quickening, enlightening, drawing, converting power of the Holy Spirit, supernaturally exercised upon the conscience and heart.

PAID IN FULL! from Spurgeon, “IT IS FINISHED!” (No. 421) The satisfaction which Jesus rendered to the JUSTICE OF GOD was finished! The debt was now, to the last farthing, all discharged.

Feeding Sheep or Amusing Goats An evil resides in the professed camp of the Lord so gross in its imprudence that the most shortsighted can hardly fail to notice it.
