Charles Spurgeon


Theodore Cuyler on The Christian LIfe

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Monday, May 30, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“The demand of the day is for a higher standard and style of Christian life. Every follower of Christ must represent His religion purely, loftily, impressively, before that multitude of "Bible-readers" whose only Bible is the Christian.”

Theodore Cuyler


J.C. Ryle on Conversion

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Friday, May 27, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“How sad is the condition of all who have gone through no spiritual change, whose hearts are still the same as in the day they were born. There is a mountain of division between them and heaven. They have yet to “pass from death to life” (1Jo 3:14). Oh, that they did but see and know their danger! It is one fearful mark of spiritual death that, like natural death, it is not felt!”

J.C. Ryle


Charles Bridges on Error

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Thursday, May 26, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“To often, while we guard against an error on the right hand, we forget one not less hurtful on the left;  like the man, who in guarding against the precipice on the one side, rushes into some fearful hazard in the other.”

Charles Bridges


Charles Spurgeon on the Cross of Christ

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“I have found, my brethren, by long experience that nothing touches the heart like the cross of Christ. When the heart is touched and wounded by the two-edged sword of the Law, nothing heals its wounds like the balm that flows from the pierced heart of Jesus.”

Charles Spurgeon


Charles Bridge on Scripture

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“This habit of living in the element of Scripture is invaluable.  To be filled from this divine treasury, to have large sections of the Word passing through the mind, enables us to grasp it more firmly and apply it to our lives.”

Charles Bridges


Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Justification by Faith

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Monday, May 23, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“The doctrine of justification by faith only is absolutely essential. There has never been a revival but that this has always come back into great prominence. This doctrine means the end of all thinking about ourselves and our goodness, and our good deeds, and our morality, and all our works.”

Martyn Lloyd-Jones


A.W. Pink on Revival

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Friday, May 20, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"When God works a revival, one of its most prominent features is to cause His people to return to the written Word."
A.W. Pink


Robert Murray M'Cheyne on Conversion

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Thursday, May 19, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"The quiet conversion of one sinner after another under the ordinary ministry of the gospel must always be regarded with feelings of satisfaction and gratitude by the ministers and disciples of Christ."
Robert Murray M'Cheyne


James W. Alexander on Revival

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"In order to have mighty and unexampled revival, what we  especially need is the whole Church to be down on its knees before God."
James W. Alexander


Charles Spurgeon on the Main End of the Christian

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Tuesday, May 17, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"The main end of a Christian man is that, having been bought with precious blood, he may live unto Christ and not unto himself."
Charles Spurgeon


Martyn Lloyd-Jones on the World

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Monday, May 16, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"Whether we like it or not, it is a fact that the world judges God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the whole of the Christian faith by what it sees in us."
Martyn Lloyd-Jones


John Flavel on Knowledge

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Friday, May 13, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“Other knowledge, though you should attain the highest degree of it, would never bring you to heaven, being defective and lame both in the integrity of parts, the principal thing, Christ, being wanting - and in the purity of its nature.”

John Flavel


William Plumer on Christ our Priest

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Thursday, May 12, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“In his exalted state Christ continues to be our Priest. He makes, indeed, no more offerings; but he gloriously intercedes for us.”

William Plumer


Thomas Watson on Christ

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , , | Posted On Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“The word is a mirror to show us our spots, and Christ’s blood is a fountain to wash them away; it turns leprosy into purity.”

Thomas Watson


John Flavel on Christ

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Tuesday, May 10, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"The knowledge of Jesus Christ is the very marrow and kernel of all the Scriptures, the scope and center of all divine revelations;  both Testaments meet in Christ."
John Flavel


William Plumer on Christ as Mediator

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Monday, May 9, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“It is right and fitting, perhaps, it is necessary that a mediator should be the equal of both parties. Jesus Christ has this fitness for His work. He can lay His hand upon both God and sinners. He knows God’s will and God’s rights. He knows man’s sins and man’s wants. He will not betray either party.  It is no robbery for Him to claim equality with God (Phil. 2:6).”

William Plumer


J.C. Ryle on Christ Crucified

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Friday, May 6, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“You may know a good deal about the Bible. You may know the outlines of the histories it contains, and the dates of the events described, just as a man knows the history of England. You may know the names of the men and women mentioned in it, just as a man knows Caesar, Alexander the Great, or Napoleon. You may know the several precepts of the Bible, and admire them, just as a man admires Plato, Aristotle, or Seneca. But if you have not yet found out that Christ crucified is the foundation of the whole volume, you have read your Bible hitherto to very little profit. Your religion is a heaven without a sun, an arch without a key-stone, a compass without a needle, a clock without spring or weights, a lamp without oil. It will not comfort you. It will not deliver your soul from hell.”

J.C. Ryle


Thomas Adams on the Atonement

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“He that had no cause to suffer for Himself suffered for me.  O Lord Jesus, thou suffers not thine own, but my wounds.”

Thomas Adams


Charles Spurgeon on the Atonement

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at 5:24 AM

“What joy it is, believer, to think that thou hast such a perfect atonement to rest upon! If there were one sin Christ did not suffer for on the cross or one evil thought of one of His people that He did not bear, we could not be saved. But He has “finished” the whole of His people’s transgression; He has made an end of all their sins. “

Charles Spurgeon


F.W. Krummacher Christ and the Cross

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Tuesday, May 3, 2016 at 5:30 AM

“O let no one be deceived with respect to him who was thus nailed to the cross! Those pierced hands bless more powerfully than while they moved freely and unfettered. They are the hands of a wonderful architect, who is building the frame of an eternal Church—yea, they are the hands of a hero, which take from the strong man all his spoil. And believe me, there is no help or salvation, save in these hands; and these bleeding feet tread more powerfully than when no fetters restrained their steps.”

F.W Krummacher


J.C Ryle on the Christ Crucified

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Monday, May 2, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"Jesus Christ crucified was the joy and delight, the comfort and the peace, the hope and the confidence, the foundation and the resting-place, the ark and the refuge, the food and the medicine of Paul's soul."
J.C. Ryle
