Quote

Stale godliness is ungodliness. Let our religion be as warm, and constant, and natural as the flow of the blood in our veins. A living God must be served in a living way.

Oh, the stoop of the Redeemer's amazing love! Let us, henceforth, contend how low we can go side by side with Him, but remember when we have gone to the lowest He descends lower still, so that we can truly feel that the very lowest place is too high for us, because He has gone lower still.

Oh my brethren, Bold hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.

If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.

Image
True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is a spiritual commerce with the Creator of heaven and earth.

Image
No man ever served God by doing things tomorrow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.

You cannot have Christ, if you will not serve Him.

Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.

...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.

The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.

Men will allow God to be everywhere except on his Throne

Faith is the fountain, the foundation and the fosterer of obedience.

It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.

None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.
