| Re: | | "My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered, but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him and He will deliver." ~ Charles Spurgeon |

| Re: | | Self-righteousness is the largest idol of the human heart - the idol which man loves most and God hates most. Dearly beloved, you will always be going back to this idol. You are always trying to be something in yourself, to gain Gods favour by thinking little of your sin, or by looking to your repentance, tears, prayers; or by looking to your religious exercises, your frames, etc; or by looking to your graces, the Spirits work in your heart. Beware of false Christs. Study sanctification to the utmost, but make not a Christ of it.

| Re: | | "What settings are you in when you fall? Avoid them. What props do you have that support your sin? Eliminate them. What people are you usually with? Avoid them. There are two equally damning lies Satan wants us to believe: 1) Just once won't hurt. 2) Now that you have ruined your life, you are beyond God's use, and might as well enjoy sinning...Learn to say no. It will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin."
~ Charles Spurgeon (on temptation) |

Online! | Re: | | I did not commence my spiritual lifeno, I rather kicked, and struggled against the things of the Spirit: when He drew me, for a time I did not run after Him: there was a natural hatred in my soul of everything holy and good. Wooings were lost upon mewarnings were cast to the windthunders were despised; and as for the whispers of His love, they were rejected as being less than nothing and vanity. - C.H. Spurgeon
