Spurgeon Commentary

If I am a child of God, I learn to trust my Father. I do not know a more delightful act of childhood than trustfulness in a parent. And how often if we trust God we shall be rewarded! Yesterday, I received a note from one of the trustees of the orphanage to say that the running account was so low that,…

Now we feel such love to the world as that which the nurse has toward her foster child. It may be a very tiresome child, but she is entrusted with it. Because its hunger cannot be appeased unless she feeds it, and its nakedness cannot be clothed unless she wraps it up, its needs and its weaknesses appeal…

Suppose one of you had a boy who said, “Father, I do not like my home. I do not care for you, and I will not endure the restraints of family rule; I am going to live with strangers. But father, I shall come to you every week, and I shall require many things of you, and I shall expect that you will give…

God recently allowed me to see Jesus through the eyes of someone seeing Him for the first time. Having the advantage of knowing how the story ends, we can easily forget the cost of our redemption and the love of
our Savior.

When as a child, I laughed and wept, Time crept; When as a youth, I dreamed and talked, Time walked; When I became a full grown man, Time ran; When older still I daily grew, Time flew; Soon I shall find in traveling on, Time gone. —Author unknown[1] [1]J. Vernon McGee, Thru the Bible commentary [computer…

CHILDREN: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 telling them to sit down and shut-up. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children. Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young. Children seldom misquote you. In fact,…

Hell or Parental Responsibility What does God say to a little fellow growing up in a home? He says, “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord” ( Col. 3:20 ). But wait a minute—what if his parents don’t tell him to do the right things and don’t bring him up the…

CHURCH HUMOR Adam and Eve had an ideal marriage. He didn't have to hear about all the men she could have married, and she didn't have to hear about the way his mother cooked. ***** An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions…

Do you think that He who is willing to die is unwilling to apply the results of His passion? A man leaps into the water to bring out a drowning child. After he has brought the child alive on shore, if he happens to have a piece of bread in his pocket and the child needs it, do you think that he who rescued…

~~~ Here's to Mom! ~~~ My mother taught me IRONY - "Keep laughing and I'll give you something to cry about."

If a hungry person were at your door and asked for bread, you would give it to him, whatever might be his character. You will also give your child food, whatever may be his behavior. You will not deny your child anything that is necessary for life; you will never proceed in any course of discipline against…

The law ceases its office as pedagogue when it comes to be written on our hearts. Boys have their lessons on slates, but men have their laws in their minds. We trust a man where we would carefully watch a boy. When the child becomes a man, his father and mother do not write down little rules for him,…

The servant in your house, however diligent, is not your heir; for a servant to claim to be the heir would not be tolerated for a moment in a court of law. The servant may be able truthfully to say, “I have been in my master’s house these many years, neither have I transgressed at any time his commandments;…

I recollect when first I left my grandfather, with whom I had been brought up as a little child, how grieved I was to part from him. It was the great sorrow of my little life. Grandfather seemed very sorry, too, and we had a cry together. He did not quite know what to say to me, but he said, “Now child,…

Remember that the safety of the weak and of the strong believer rests upon the same foundation. On board one of the fine steamboats that flit between England and America there is a strong, hardy, vigorous man. Will he get to America safely? Yes, if the ship does. But yonder is a little child that cannot…

Perfection in the scriptural use of it is not at all what those make of it who boast of perfection in the flesh. A child is perfect when it is newly born: there is every toe on the tiny foot, and its eyes, and ears, and nose, and other organs are all there. But if you tell me that a child is a perfect…

A child might point us to a bright mirror reflecting the sun, and he might cry, “In this is light!” You and I would say, “Poor child, that is only borrowed brightness. The light is not there, but in the sun.” The love of saints is nothing more than the reflection of the love of God. We have love, but…

When a ship first leaves the stocks it is well for it to go on a trial trip, but to have a ship always being tried would be very absurd. It is time that it took voyages in earnest, and was registered in the merchant service; there will be trial enough in the actual execution of service. Some Christians,…

The boy is not afraid of missing his way; he trusts implicitly his father’s guidance. His father’s arm will screen him from all danger, and therefore he does not so much as give it a thought. Why should he? If care is needed as to the road, it is his father’s business to see to it, and the child, therefore,…

Think of your dear little one at home. He cannot yet read a letter in a book; he knows nothing of the things that his elder brother studies; but he knows his father. He may not know very much about his father; he could not certainly speak to others about his father’s business or his father’s wealth,…
