The Wisdom of the Gospel The gospel is the sum of wisdom; a collection of knowledge; a treasure-house of truth; and a disclosure of mysterious secrets. In it we see how justice and mercy may be associated; here we see unalterable law entirely satisfied, and sovereign love carrying away the sinner in triumph. Our meditation […]
“Lay your foundations with sapphires.” Isaiah 54:11 Not only that which is seen of the church of God—but that which is unseen, is fair and precious. Foundations are out of sight, and so long as they are firm—it is not expected that they should be valuable; but in Jehovah’s work, everything is costly, nothing skimped, […]
The Mighty Magnet “And I, if l be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me” (John 12:32). Come, ye workers, be encouraged. You fear that you cannot draw a congregation. Try the preaching of a crucified, risen, and ascended Savior; for this is the greatest “draw” that was ever yet manifested […]
“THE center of our holy religion is the Cross. The central thought of the whole of Christianity is Christ and the great point in Christ’s history is His Crucifixion. We preach Christ—but more—we preach Him Crucified!”—Charles Spurgeon

Can we forget such mighty grace? Spurgeon’s book, “The Saint and His Savior” Experience of the love, tenderness, and faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ will weld our hearts to him. The very thought of the love of Jesus towards us is enough to inflame our holy passions, but experience of it heats the furnace […]
Losses? by Spurgeon— Losses are frequently the means God uses to fetch home His wandering sheep. Like fierce dogs, they bring wanderers back to the Shepherd. When the Christian grows wealthy, and in good repute, and has good health and a happy family, he too often wanders away from the Shepherd. If he is a true […]
THE PRECIOUSNESS OF THE PROMISES By Spurgeon The promises of God are to the believer an ‘inexhaustible mine of wealth’. Happy is it for him if he knows how to search out their secret veins and enrich himself with their hidden treasures. They are an ‘armory’, containing all manner of offensive and defensive weapons.
