“The trouble with people who are not seeking for a Savior, and for salvation, is that they do not understand the nature of sin. It is the peculiar function of the Law to bring such an understanding to a man’s mind and conscience.” —Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“If your creed and Scripture do not agree, cut your creed to pieces, but make it agree with this book. If there be anything in the church to which you belong which is contrary to the inspired Word, leave that church.”—Charles Spurgeon
Notice that the Bible tells us how many people were on board the ark, but the Bible does not tell us how many people were involved in building the ark.
“It is impossible for a person to fully realize his need for God’s grace until he sees how terribly he has failed the standards of God’s Law. It is impossible for him to realize his need for mercy until he realizes the magnitude of his guilt.” —John MacArthur
It Took 37 Years
A Christian brother named LeeRoy Beatty memorized the entire Bible. It took him 37 years. He went to be with the Lord in 1998 at the age of 83. He used to say, "Jesus said, 'Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.' If you are not fishing, you are not following." He also said, "The Bible says, 'He that wins souls is wise.' What does that mean if you are not winning souls?" He would say, "Silence in not golden. It's yellow." He had many other pithy sayings. One was, "Don't miss Heaven. You never will forgive yourself if you do." Pithy though they were, his little sayings were based on sound doctrine. He knew his Bible. So, go fishing today. Be wise. Don't be yellow. Take courage through faith in God. Live to hear, "Well done, you good and faithful servant" and when you die, you will.
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
“I view the difficulties of Holy Scripture as so many prayer stools upon which I kneel and worship the glorious Lord. What we cannot comprehend by our understandings we apprehend by our affections.”—Charles Spurgeon
“But he said to her, ‘You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?’ In all this Job did not sin with his lips.” (Job 2:10)
“There is a Ruler above, and His Providence guides all things. He is our Friend and has plenty of work for all His people to do. It is such a blessing to be led into His work instead of into the service of the hard taskmasters —the Devil and sin.” —David Livingstone
“I wish that our ministry—that mine especially—might be tied and tethered to the cross. I would have no other subject to set before you but Jesus only.”—Charles Spurgeon
Satan is the Accuser. His work is to turn your eyes in on yourself and despair. The Spirit is the Comforter. His work is to turn your eyes to Jesus, the rest for our souls.
“Oh my friends, we are loaded down with countless church activities, while the real work of the church, that of evangelizing the world and winning the lost, is almost entirely neglected!”—Oswald J. Smith
“Preaching the gospel is to us a matter of life and death; we throw our whole soul into it. We live and are happy if you believe in Jesus and are saved. But we are almost ready to die if you refuse the gospel of Christ.” —Charles Spurgeon
“He is not seeking a powerful people to represent Him. Rather, He looks for all those who are weak, foolish, despised, and written off: and He inhabits them with His own strength.” —Graham Cooke
