If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.
Charles Spurgeon

The distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house they have not gone far off they are upstairs and we are down below.

Birds sing on a bare bough O, believer, canst not thou?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.
Charles Spurgeon

He is truly great in who hath power over himself.
Charles Spurgeon

When I am weak then am I strong, Grace is my shield and Christ my Song.

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.

One of the most modern pretenders to inspiration is the Book of Mormon. I could not blame you should you laugh outright while I read aloud a page from that farrago.

The cry of a young raven is nothing but the natural cry of a creature, but your cry, if it be sincere, is the result of a work of grace in your heart.
