He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them.

A church is a soul-saving company or it is nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Neither when we have chosen our way can we keep company with those who go the other way. There must come with the decision for truth a corresponding protest against error.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, without prayer what are the church's agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man's arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man's eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I know nothing that can so comfort the soul, so calm the swelling billows of grief and sorrow, so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit, and then, if your daily calling only leaves you cracks and crevices of time, fill them up with holy service.
Charles Spurgeon
Image

Charles Spurgeon
Image
The whole Christ seeks after each sinner, and when the Lord finds it, he gives himself to that one soul as if he had but that one soul to bless. How my heart admires the concentration of all the Godhead and humanity of Christ in his search after each sheep of his flock.

If you are saved, the work is only half done until you are employed to bring others to Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Methinks every true Christian should be exceedingly earnest in prayer concerning the souls of the ungodly and when they are so, how abundantly God blesses them and how the church prospers!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I find myself frequently depressed - perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.
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
A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God has so made man's heart that nothing can ever fill it but God himself.

There is no exception to this rule: All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant. They say there is no rule without an exception, but there is an exception to that rule.
