Charles Spurgeon on preaching the Word:

There seems to be to have been twice as much done in some ages in defending the Bible as in expounding it, but if the whole of our strength shall henceforth go to the exposition and spreading of it, we may leave it pretty much to defend itself.

I do not know whether you see that lion—it is very distinctly before my eyes; a number of persons advance to attack him, while a host of us would defend [him]….

Pardon me if I offer a quiet suggestion. Open the door and let the lion out; he will take care of himself.
