If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.

Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earthto us.

You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing makes a man so virtuous as belief of the truth. A lying doctrine will soon beget a lying practice. A man cannot have an erroneous belief without by-and-by having an erroneous life. I believe the one thing naturally begets the other.

Image
If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?

I do not know if there is a more dreadful word in the English language than that word lost.

The greater our present trials, the louder will our future songs be, and the more intense our joyful gratitude.

Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Providence of God is the great protector of our life and usefulness, and under the divine care we are perfectly safe from danger.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Go forth today, by the help of God's Spirit, vowing and declaring that in life - come poverty, come wealth, in death - come pain or come what may, you are and ever must be the Lord's. For this is written on your heart, 'We love Him because He first loved us.'

Holy service in constant fellowship with God is heaven below
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every sinner must be quickened by the same life, made obedient to the same gospel, washed in the same blood, clothed in the same righteousness, filled with the same divine energy, and eventually taken up to the same heaven, and yet in the conversion of no two sinners will you find matters precisely the same.

Don't drown the man who taught you to swim. If you learned your trade or profession from the man, do not set up in opposition to him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.

Without Christ there is no hope.

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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

The observant man recognizes many mysteries into which he can not pretend to see, and he remembers that the world is too wide for the eye of one man. But the modern sophists are sure of everything, especially if it contradicts the Bible.
