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.

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
A soul-winner can do nothing without God. He must cast himself on the Invisible, or be a laughing-stock to the devil, who regards with utter disdain all who think to subdue human nature with mere words and arguments.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who affirms that Christianity makes men miserable, is himself an utter stranger to it.
