The Pursuit of Holiness (Part 5)

"...let a man once become really holy, even though he has but the slenderest possible ability, he will be a more fit instrument in God's hand than the man of gigantic acquirements, who is not obedient to the divine will, nor clean and pure in the sight of the Lord God Almighty."
p32, The Soul Winner, Charles H. Spurgeon.

"When I listened to Mr George Muller, as he was preaching at Mentone, it was just such an address as might have been given to a Sunday-school by an ordinary teacher, yet I never heard a sermon that did me more good, and more richly profited my soul ... you could not help saying, 'That man not only preaches what he believes, but also what he lives'. In every word he uttered his glorious life of faith seemed to fall upon both ear and heart. I was delighted to sit and listen to him; yet, as for novelty or strength of thought, there was no trace of it in the whole discourse. Holiness was the preacher's force; and you may depend upon it that, if God is to bless us, our strength must line in the same direction."
p32-33, The Soul Winner, Charles H. Spurgeon.
