Underestimating God
Holy Scripture, when it depicts God’s wrath against sin, never uses hyperbole; it would be impossible to exaggerate it.
The Character of God
The character of God is a sea, every drop of which should become a wellhead of praise for His people.
C. H. Spurgeon in notes from Treasury of David on Psalm 33.5
He Must Increase, and I Must Decrease
Be ashamed and be confounded while you lay hold on Christ, for the more He does for you, the less you must think of yourself.
Just Plodding Around
He who thinks of God will have a larger mind than the man who simply plods around this globe.
Glorying in God
You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself.
The Tiny Pin-pricks of Our Sorrows
When I think of the sorrows of Christ and the sorrows of His church as a whole, I say to myself, ‘What tiny pinpricks are our griefs compared with the great gash in the Savior’s side and the many scars that adorn His church today!
The Inevitability of Worship
There is an irresistible tendency in us to glory in something or other.
How I Feel Every Time I Preach
I felt when I was coming up to preach tonight as if I had been down like a little child to the sea, and I had stooped to the wave and filled my palms as well as I could with the sparkling water, but as I have been coming to bring it to you, it has nearly all trickled away, for I am not able to hold it by reason of my leaking hands.
Preaching Is an Invitation to a Celebration
In delivering God’s message, we do not ask men to come to a funeral, but to a wedding feast.
