Quote

If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy.

There is nothing that will keep a person from Christ like a good opinion of himself.
Charles Spurgeon

My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are convinced that all of our race who die in infancy partake in the redemption wrought out by our Lord Jesus. Whatever some may think, we believe that the whole spirit and tone of the Word of God, as well as the nature of God Himself, lead us to believe that all who leave this world as babes are saved.

The greater our present trials, the louder will our future songs be, and the more intense our joyful gratitude.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No matter how dear you are to God, if pride is harboured in your spirit, He will whip it out of you. They that go up in their own estimation must come down again by His discipline
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who affirms that Christianity makes men miserable, is himself an utter stranger to it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not to be alarmed when Satan hinders us, for it is proof that we are on the Lord's side and are doing the Lord's work. In His strength, we will win the victory and triumph over our adversary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Because God is the living God, He can hear because He is a loving God, He will hear because He is our covenant God, He has bound Himself to hear.

Master those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they saturate you. Read and re-read them...digest them...a student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by 20 books he has merely skimmed.

I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes

Like Jonah, you may lose your gourd, but you cannot lose your God.
