Spurgeon's Sermons

Dear Friend, for this reason do not be angry with the minister if, when you go to hear him on the Lord's Day, his text is not a promise, or a sweet bit of doctrine, but a warning and an exhortation, or even a condemnation. Bare your back to the whip and take your share of the lashes. If the Lord's servant has nothing to give but what comes from the bitter box, do not make faces over it. If he is the Lord's steward and deals out God's Truth, quarrel not with him, lest you be found contending with your Maker!
