Our happy God should be worshiped by a happy people.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you cut him, (John Bunyan) he'd bleed Scripture!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you receive Christ into your heart, He cannot be taken away from you!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow. Cleopatra was poisoned by an asp that was brought to her in a basket of fair flowers. Sharp-edged tools, long handled, wound at last.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.

That religion which costs a man nothing is usually worth nothing.

Nothing puts life into men like a dying Savior.

Image
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon

If you simply take the name of Christ upon you and call yourself His servant, yet do not obey Him, but follow your own whim, or your own hereditary prejudice, or the custom of some erroneous church-you are no servant of Christ. If you really are a servant of Christ, your first duty is to obey Him.

Learn to say no it will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin.
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
Repentance will not make you see Christ but to see Christ will give you repentance.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The full he empties, and the empty he fills.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!
Charles Spurgeon

Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).

Sin and Hell are married unless repentance proclaims the divorce.

Winners of souls must first be weepers for souls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The friend of God must not spend a day without God, and he must undertake no work apart from his God.
Charles Spurgeon

When we believe that God hears us, it is but natural that we should be eager to hear Him. Only from Him can come the word which can speak peace to troubled spirits the voices of men are feeble in such a case, a plaster far too narrow for the sore but God's voice is power, He speaks and it is done, and hence when we hear Him our distress is ended.
