Samuel at Gilgal

Charles H. Spurgeon:

“I would sooner be a toad under a rock than be a Christian who tries to conceal his Christianity…It is not life to have to ask another man’s permission to think. If there is any misrepresentation, if there is any scorn, if there is any contempt for being a Christian, let me have my share of it, for a Christian I am, and I wish to be treated like the rest.” (1887, Sermon #1996)

“These are days when we need men of principle—men who can put their foot down and keep it down—men who cannot be turned aside. They call this firmness, ‘bigotry.’ It is, however, only another name for Christian manliness! If you dare to do right and face a frowning world, you shall have God’s commendation, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’” (1892, Sermon #2272)
