Slandering Christ from the Pulpit
I do believe we slander Christ when we think that we are to draw people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.
Charles Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)

I Run to Christ
Think Twice before You Speak
If thou thinkest twice before thou speakest once, thou wilt speak twice the better for it.
The Reason Why We Sin
We sin because we are looking to something else to give us what only Jesus can give us.

We Are More Than Conquerors
Here, then, is the test, here is the challenge. Does the gospel enable us to face the battle of life as it is today in such a way that we are more than conquerors — not merely conquerors but more than conquerors? Does this teaching . . . enable us not merely to put up with tribulations but to rejoice in them?

Bad Thinking Must Be Answered
To be ignorant and simple now — not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground, would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy must be answered . . . The learned life then, is for some, a duty.
Overruling Mistakes
Pastor, if you feel like you failed yesterday, remember…
“We serve a gracious Master who knows how to overrule even our mistakes to His glory and our advantage.”
