Quote

It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.

Image
If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I hope the doctrine that Christians ought to be gloomy will soon be driven out of the universe. There are no people in the world who have such a right to be happy, nor have such cause to be joyful as the saints of the living God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.

We cannot play at preaching. We preach for eternity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We fear not God because of any compulsion our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure, our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I met another man who considered himself perfect, but he was thoroughly mad and I do not believe that any of the pretenders to perfection are better than good maniacs... for while a man has got a spark of reason left in him, he cannot, unless he is the most impudent of impostors, talk about being perfect.

Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write 'damnation' with your fingers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Death has no sting to a Believer. Once death was the penalty of sin-sin being forgiven, the penalty ceases and Christians do not die, now, as a punishment for their sin, but they die that they may be prepared to live!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wherever Jesus may lead us, He goes before us. If we don't know where we are going, we know with whom we go.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus humility, happiness, and holiness.

We shall not long have love to man if we do not first and chiefly cultivate love to God.

Conflicts bring experience and experience brings that growth in Grace which is not to be attained by any other means!

Surely if men's hearts were right, short sermons would be enough.
