It is far easier to fight with sin in public than to pray against it in private.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He that knows how to overcome the Lord in prayer, has heaven and earth at his disposal.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is the fountain, the foundation and the fosterer of obedience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A well marked Bible is the sign of a well-fed soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Shall I give you yet another reason why you should pray? I have preached my very heart out. I could not say any more than I have said. Will not your prayers accomplish that which my preaching fails to do? Is it not likely that the Church has been putting forth its preaching hand but not its praying hand? Oh dear friends! Let us agonize in prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing. Go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy! Your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms! And your need is the motive for heavenly goodness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sheep in the midst of wolves is safe compared with the Christian in the midst of ungodly men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The change is radical it gives us new natures, it makes us love what we hated and hate what we loved, it sets us in a new road it makes our habits different, it makes our thoughts different, it makes us different in private, and different in public.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are one in Christ let us be friends with one another but let us never be friends with one another’s error. If I be wrong, rebuke me sternly I can bear it, and bear it cheerfully and if ye be wrong, expect the like measure from me, and neither peace nor parley with your mistakes.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is reason at rest in God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Obedience is the highest practical courage.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot be Christ’s servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all. What do you crave? A crown? Then it must be a crown of thorns if you are to be like him. Do you want to be lifted up? So you shall, but it will be upon a cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Has there not been, sometimes, this temptation to do a great deal for Christ, but not to live a great deal with Christ?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No life can surpass that of a man who quietly continues to serve God in the place where providence has placed him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.
Charles Spurgeon

Too many people write their blessings in the sand but engrave their sorrows in marble

Revival begins by Christians getting right first and then spills over into the world.
