I was about to tell him he was wrong to dwell on it, because it really didn't matter. But he cut me off and urged me one last time, drawing himself up to his full height and asking me if I believed in God. I said no. He sat down indignantly. He said it was impossible; all men believed in God, even those who turn their backs on him. That was his belief, and if he were ever to doubt it, his life would become meaningless. 'Do you want my life to be meaningless?' he shouted. As far as I could see, it didn't have anything to do with me, and I told him so. But from across the table he had already thrust the crucifix in my face and was screaming irrationally, 'I am a Christian. I ask Him to forgive you for sins. How can you not believe that He suffered for you?' I was struck by how sincere he seemed, but I had had enough. It was getting hotter and hotter. As always, whenever I want to get rid of someone I'm not really listening to, I made it appear as if I agreed. To my surprise, he acted triumphant. 'You see, you see!' he said. 'You do believe, don't you, and you're going to place your trust in Him, aren't you?' Obviously, I again said no. He fell back in his chair. Albert Camus		Sunday Jul 27, 2025

Other Charles Haddon Spurgeon Quotes

Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of; they just turn up some of the ill weeds on to the surface.

The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.

The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.

Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, But only empties today of its strength.

Economy is half the battle of life; it is not so hard to earn money as to spend it well.

Humility is to make a right estimate of oneself.

There are no crown-wearers in heaven that were not cross-bearers here below.

Nothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face. It takes a great deal out of a man to get into a towering rage; it is almost as unhealthy as having a fit.... Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it.

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.

It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.

Luck generally comes to those who look afterit; and my notion is that it taps, once in a lifetime, at everybody's door, but if industry does not open it luck goes away.

If you think you can walk in holiness without keeping up perpetual fellowship with Christ, you have made a great mistake. If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.

I had rather be poor in His service than rich in my own.

Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the top of a mountain.

A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The 'divine service' is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.

If you want a thing well done, do it yourself.
