Charles Spurgeon on Christs acceptance
If they could but see that all their high joys do not exalt them, and all their low despondencies do not really depress them in their Father’s sight, but that they stand accepted in one who never alters, in one who is always the beloved of God, always perfect, always without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, how much happier they
would be, and how much more they would honour the Saviour!

Charles Spurgeon
As the good man said to his boy, “My boy, pay as you go.” “Suppose I cannot pay, father.” “Then, don’t go;” so would I say to you, examine your life as you go. If you dare not examine an action, or look at it, then do not do it.

Charles Spurgeon
It was a pretty remark I read, the other day, of a Christian man who said, “I used to
have many disappointments, until I changed one letter of the word, and chopped it
into two, so that instead of ‘disappointments,’ I read it, ‘his appointments.’” That was
a wonderful change, for “disappointments” break your heart, but “his appointments”
you accept right cheerily.

Matthew Henry on prayer
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.

Charles Spurgeon on diligence
The other day, I saw John Wesley’s diary, or rather, horary, for it had in it not merely
an entry for every day, but for every hour; and not only for every hour, but usually
there was a distinct occupation for every twenty minutes. The good man made his
days to have many hours in them, and his hours seemed to have more minutes in
them than most men’s hours have, because he did not waste any of them, but
diligently used them all in his Master’s service.

Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.

Matthew Henry on right anger
Wise anger is like fire from the flint; there is a great ado to bring it out; and when it does come, it is out again immediately.
