Charles Spurgeon

Abundant Grace

“The grace of God is abundant. It is for all lands, for all ages, for all conditions. It seems to undergird everything. Pardon for the worst sin, comfort for the sharpest suffering, brightest light for the thickest darkness.”

In an era of deception, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

–George Orwell

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

–T.S. Eliot
