There is many a way of...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, If thy motive be single — if thou hast only one motive, and that a right one — the master one of glorifying God — if thy eye be single.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! When a man’s highest motive is himself, what a dark and selfish nature he has; but when his highest motive is his God, what brightness of light will shine upon...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
No man can serve two masters: He can serve two persons very readily. For the matter of that, he can serve twenty, but not two masters. There cannot be two master principles in a man’s heart, or master passions in a man’s soul. “No man can serve two masters.” Mat_6:24. For either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
No man can serve two masters: He may serve two individuals, who have conflicting interests but they cannot both be his masters. Mat_6:24. For either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Either the one or the other will be master, they are so opposed to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, — It should be, “Take no distracting thought for your life,” — Mat_6:25. What ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? You are obliged to leave your life with God, why not leave with him all...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, or gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Do you believe that, after all your earnest labour and your industry, God will permit you to starve, when these creatures, that labour not, yet are fed?
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like one of these. Christ asks then whether, by taking thought, they can add a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore, take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. You cannot live in tomorrow, so do not fret about tomorrow. You live in today, so think of today, spend today to God’s glory, and leave the care about tomorrow until tomorrow comes.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Use your judgment, of course: the verse implies that you will judge in a right sense. But do not indulge the criticizing faculty upon others in censorious manner, or as if you were set in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge not that ye be not judged. Set not up for critics, especially in the act of worship. Probably there. is no greater destroyer of profit in the hearing of the word than is the spirit of carping criticism.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge not that ye be not judged. For with what, judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. When the Lord comes in judgment, he might almost decline to mount the throne, for he might say, “These men have already tried and condemned each other; let their sentences abide.” If he were to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge not, that ye be not judged. You are not called to judge; you are not qualified to judge: “God is the Judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” There is much better work to be done by us than that of setting up as judges of others.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For with what Judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Do not judge the whole character of a man by one single action; do not attempt to judge his motives; you cannot read his heart; you are not omniscient; you are not infallible. You will very soon find other people judging you; and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cut out the...
