Grace Quotes

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? It is not the cholera which has slain these hundreds, the cholera was but the sword. The hand which scattered death is the hand of a greater than mere disease. God himself is traversing London. God with silent footstep walks the hospitals, enters the chamber, strikes the wayfarer in the street. God, the great Judge of all, at whose girdle swing the keys of death and hell, the mysterious one whose voice bids the pillars of heaven's starry roof to tremble, who made the stars, and can quench them at his will- it was none other than he who walked down our crowded streets, and entering our lanes and alleys called one after another the souls of men to their last account! God is abroad! It is not the rod of disease that smites, but God himself that uses the rod!
