Pithy gems from Spurgeon #6

There is as much love in the blows of God's hand, as in the kisses of His mouth!

As kings hold a model globe in their hands--so does the Lord in very deed hold the earth!

Whatever the secondary agent may be, the direct hand of the Lord is in every earthly calamity.

   ~  ~  ~  ~

The floods of God's mercy ever rise above the mountains of our sins!

   ~  ~  ~  ~

There is no cordial of comfort, like that which is poured from the bottle of Scripture.

   ~  ~  ~  ~

Pride lies at the root of all sin. If people were not arrogant, they would not be disobedient.

   ~  ~  ~  ~

Justified people always long to be sanctified.

   ~  ~  ~  ~

Hell itself is but sin fully developed!

   ~  ~  ~  ~

The same lips which spoke us into existence, have spoken the laws by which we are to govern our existence.

   ~  ~  ~  ~

Those who fear God, need not fear anything else!

   ~  ~  ~  ~

Our desires and delights are a better test of our character than anything else.
The further a soul advances in grace, the more spiritual and divine are its longings.
