Quote

I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination - the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life.

Image
We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is the whole business of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Atonement by the blood of Jesus is not an arm of Christian truth it is the heart of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Thankfulness makes much of little.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christ also takes from us all inclination or power to boast of our national prestige. To me, it is prestige enough to be a Christian--to bear the cross Christ gives me to carry and to follow in the footsteps of the great Crossbearer.

Image
Think not of the sinner or the greatness of his sin, but think of the greatness of the Savior!
