English (original)
Oh, my brothers and sisters in Christ, if sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies; and if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay, and not madly to destroy themselves. If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
— Charles Spurgeon
More from Charles Spurgeon
Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God buildeth up His living temple.
Soul-serving requires a heart that beats hard against the ribs. It requires a soul full of the milk of human kindness. This is the sine qua non of success.
I believe that much of the secret of soul-winning lies in having bowels of compassion, in having spirits that can be touched with the feeling of human infirmities.
The practice of truth is the most profitable reading of it.
The preacher's work is to throw sinners down in utter helplessness, that they may be compelled to look up to Him who alone can help them.
The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day.
