Loving Jesus

It's no use just singing pretty songs: 'Jesus I love you.' They don't prove anything. It's onlyin daily life that you prove, through obedience, whether or not you love Jesus.

Hell

Eternal death is not cessation of being. It is the opposite of eternal life. It is unlikeness to the glorified humanity of Jesus. It is the loneliness of not ever knowing any peace of fellowship with God.

Spurgeon's desire

This is what I desire: I would see the doctrine of the Calvinist associated with the fire of the Methodist and the holiness of the Puritan.
