Spurgeon’s Daily Help
One of the wonders of the Bible is its incredible richness. It’s not like other books that may be shallow in their ideas; the Bible’s sentences are nuggets of pure truth. The Bible is clearly the greatest of all books because it is infinite. As a German author once said, “This little book contains all
the wisdom of the world.”
"We search the world for truth; we gather The good, the pure, the beautiful From carved stone and ancient scroll, From all the rich fields of the soul; And, weary seekers of the best, We return from our quest, To find that all the sages said Is in the Book our mothers read."

The Spurgeon Birthday Book

Watch how little children weave garlands and wear them joyfully, like birds singing in the fields. Will they be any happier when only diamonds and gold satisfy them? Isn’t a simple love for nature the best after all? Similarly, when reading the Scriptures,
it’s better to enjoy its plain promises and precious blessings than to get caught up in scholarly debates and theological arguments.
