Prayer girds human weakness with divine strength, turns human folly into heavenly wisdom, and gives to troubled mortals the peace of God. We know not what prayer can do.

Dear friends, whenever you want to understand a text of Scripture, try to read the original
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We often forget that the author of our faith must be the finisher of it also.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The distance between glorified spirits in heaven and militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so. We are not far from home-a moment will bring us there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hang that question up in your houses, What would Jesus do? and then think of another, How would Jesus do it? for what he would do, and how he would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you have no share in the living Lord may God have mercy upon you! If you have no share in Christ's rising from the dead then you will not be raised up in the likeness of His glorified body. If you do not attain to that resurrection from among the dead then you must abide in death.

Man's wonder grows with his knowledge.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The anvil is not afraid of the hammer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The only reason why anything virtuous or lively survives in us is this, 'the LORD is there' (Ez. 35:10)
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Bible is not the light of the world, it is the light of the Church. But the world does not read the Bible, the world reads Christians! “You are the light of the world.”
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's law is our pleasure when the God of the law is our God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The greatest works are done by the ones. The hundreds do not often do much-the companies never it is the units-the single individuals, that are the power and the might. Individual effort is, after all, the grand thing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some people, when they use the word 'salvation', understand nothing more by it than deliverance from hell and admittance into heaven. Now, that is not salvation: those two things are the effects of salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?

Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.
