(Andrew Gray "Door Unto Everlasting Life") Sin is the ulcer that sits on a creature's heart, and robs him of all true contentment and sound joy.

From Spurgeon's, "The Holy Ghost- the Great Teacher" Do any of you have an 'illuminated' Bible at home?

from Spurgeon’s sermon, “Thus Says the Lord” Ezekiel 11:5 “Thus says the Lord” is the only authority in God’s Church.
