“But the man cries, ‘I do repent of having done wrong.’ ‘Yes,’ says the law, ‘but I have nothing to do with repentance.’ There is no provision in the ten commandments for repentance. Cursed is the man that breaks the law; and that is all that the law has to say to him.” (Page 335)
“Abraham didn’t have all the answers but still trusted the Judge of all the earth to do right (Genesis 18:25).” (Page 87)
“A farmer who is too tender-hearted to tear up and harrow the land will never see a harvest. Here is the failing of certain divines; they are afraid of hurting anyone’s feelings, and so they keep clear of all the truths which are likely to excite fear or grief.” (Page 314)
“We have a proverb that old wine and old friends are best, and we need not look far to see that the oldest saints are frequently the best esteemed by the Lord.” (Page 280)
“I am bound to love my neighbour as myself, but the still higher law calls on me to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, mind and strength.” (Page 87)

Once again I have enjoyed a year with Spurgeon. Whilst, as with daily quotes/extracts from any great preacher, there were some days that were exceptional and others were just good - Spurgeon at his worst is far better than many ;-) I do not always agree with the Prince of Preachers, but I always respect what he has to say - and thus to have some insight from him each day is a good thing :) I also have enjoyed Crosby’s comments and/or hymn sections included at the end of each day’s extract.
