Quotes by Pastor Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834 - 1892)
"O brothers, sisters, if we do this and follow Jesus, putting our feet into the footprints of his pierced feet, he will make us fishers of men. If it should so please him that we should even die without having gathered many souls to the cross, we shall speak from our graves. In some way or other the Lord will make a holy life to be an influential life. It is not possible that a life which can be described as a following of Christ should be an unsuccessful one in the sight of the Most High. 'Follow me,' and there is an 'I will' such as God can never draw back from: 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.'"
