When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.","author":"Charles Spurgeon","tags":["god","me","sin "],"id":32833,"author_id":"Charles+Spurgeon"},{"text":"If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.","author":"Charles Spurgeon","tags":["love","myself","i am "],"id":55675,"author_id":"Charles+Spurgeon"},{"text":"A good character is the best tombstone.

There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend.

When we get away from self to God, there all is truth and purity and holiness, and our heart finds peace, wisdom, completeness, delight, joy, victory.","author":"Charles Spurgeon","tags":["wisdom","peace","truth "],"id":114318,"author_id":"Charles+Spurgeon"},{"text":"I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law. Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [its most powerful weapon] when you have set aside the Law. You have taken away from it the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ. They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore, the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place. The Law cuts into the core of evil, it reveals the seat of the malady and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within. They must be slain by the Law before they can be made alive by the gospel.","author":"Charles Spurgeon","tags":["doctrine","gosepl","jesus","law","old-testament-justice","torah"],"id":121419,"author_id":"Charles+Spurgeon"},{"text":"Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool.
