Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom. If you may have everything by asking in His Name, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I am not today all that I hope to be, yet I see Jesus, and that assures me that I shall one day be like Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I thought I could have leaped from earth to heaven at one spring when I first saw my sins drowned in the Redeemer's blood.
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.
Charles Spurgeon

Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You can recollect the sayings of great men, you treasure up verse of renowned poets ought you not be equally profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty or overthrow a doubt?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Soul-winning is the chief business of the Christian minister it should be the main pursuit of every true believer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The vendors of flowers in the streets of London are wont to commend them to customers by crying: All a blowing and a growing. It would be no small praise to Christians if we could say as much for them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?

God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!
Charles Spurgeon

Nothing makes a man so virtuous as belief of the truth. A lying doctrine will soon beget a lying practice. A man cannot have an erroneous belief without by-and-by having an erroneous life. I believe the one thing naturally begets the other.

God writes with a pen that never blots, speaks with a tongue that never slips, acts with a hand that never fails

There is hardship in everything except eating pancakes.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Trust in God alone, and lean not on the needs of human help. Be not surprised when friends fail you it is a failing world. Never reckon upon immutability in man: inconstancy you may reckon upon without fear of disappointment.
Charles Spurgeon

Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly. Others give but an occasional pluck at the rope. But he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.
Charles Spurgeon

In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out-give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.
