Causes Quote by Charles Spurgeon
![“The modern [endtimes] notion has greatly damped the zeal of the church for missions, and the sooner it is shown to be unscriptural the better for the cause of God. It neither consorts with prophecy, honours God, nor inspires the church with ardour” quote by Charles Spurgeon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/36c/charles-spurgeon-82_causes_the-modern-endtimes-notion-has-greatly-d_1123001.jpg)
