Today in 1892, the great Charles H. Spurgeon died. For those of you who have never heard of Spurgeon, he was the minister of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London and probably the greatest preacher of all time. Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from Spurgeon:
"Do not reckon you have prayed until you have pleaded, for pleading is the very marrow of prayer."
"I'm afraid that all the grace that I have got of my comfortable and easy times and happy hours might almost lie on a penny. But the good that I have received from my sorrows and pains and griefs is altogether incalculable."
"It would be a very sharp and trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me; that the bitter cup was never filled by His hand; that my trials were never measured out by Him, nor sent to me by His arrangement of their weight and quantity."
And how 'bout one more...
"The most terrible warning to impenitent men in all the world is the death of Christ. For if God spared not His own Son, on whom was only laid imputed sin, will He spare sinners whose sins are their own?"
