Today’s Quote
No guilt is so great, but there is a remedy in Christ’s blood which atones for it. No corruption is so strong, but there is a remedy in His grace which can subdue it.

Spurgeon’s Daily Help
One of the marvels of the Bible is its singular fullness. It is not a book of gold-leaf beaten thin, as most books are as to thought; but its sentences are nuggets of unalloyed truth. The book of God is clearly the God of books, for it is infinite. Well said a German author, "In this little book is contained
all the wisdom of the world."
"We search the world for truth; we cull
The good, the pure, the beautiful
From graven stone and written scroll,
From all old flower-fields of the soul;
And, weary seekers of the best,
We come back laden from the quest,
To find that all the sages said Is in the Book our mothers read."

The Spurgeon Birthday Book
June 1
See how the little children weave garlands and chaplets, and are as happy as the merry birds, while arrayed in collars and girdles made of the flowers of the field. Will they be any wiser when only diamonds and gold will serve their turn? Is not a simple
taste which loves nature the best after all? So, too, in reading the Scriptures, it is better to revel in its plain promises and precious privileges than to pine for erudite criticisms and theological disputations.
