The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.

The incomprehensibility of God’s person and works should never be a cause for doubt, but a catalyst for wonder. Why should we marvel at that which is small enough to be encompassed by or encaged in a finite human mind?
Men’s hands cannot be strong when God rises up. The strongest have no power to resist him, nor can any deliver out of his hands.

Twitter has shut down another account I operate which has broken no rules and existed for 10 years. They have denied my appeal and now they won't even respond to my inquiries. No more Charles Spurgeon quotes to more than 118,000 followers after a decade... @CHSpurgeon
Resolved, constantly, with the utmost niceness and diligence, and the strictest scrutiny, to be looking into the state of my soul.
He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion.
Pride often creeps insensibly into the midst of religion, even, sometimes, under the disguise of humility itself!
All the fruits of the Spirit which we are to lay weight upon as evidential of grace, are summed up in charity, or Christian love.
O sinner! Consider the fearful danger you are in! O sinner! It is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit.
There's no way that Saints, in a private capacity, can do so much to promote the work of God & advance the kingdom of Christ as by prayer.

Resolved, to inquire every night, wherein I have been negligent, what sin I have committed, and wherein I have denied myself.
