Charles Simmons malicemarkfire Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion. Charles Spurgeon pathospassionfire Doth not all nature around me praise God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe. Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies? Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Doth not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Hath not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be? Charles Spurgeon armyfirewriting Consume all obstacles, heavenly fire, and give us now both hearts of flame and tongues of fire to preach Your reconciling word, for Jesus' sake Charles Spurgeon fireheartjesus Blessed are the peacemakers, and one sure way of peacemaking is to let the fire of contention alone.
