Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.

Now' is the watchword of the wise.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The heart of the gospel is redemption, and the essence of redemption is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ. They who preach this truth preach the gospel in whatever else they may be mistaken but they who preach not the atonement, whatever else they declare, have missed the soul and substance of the divine message.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He that is never on his knees on earth shall never stand upon his feet in heaven
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works and he that is without works is without faith.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Conversion is not, as some suppose, a violent opening of the heart by grace, in which will, reason and judgment are all ignored or crushed. The season is not blinded, but enlightened and the whole man is made to act with a glorious liberty which it never knew till it fell under the restraints of grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It's a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
And I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, If any man ascribes any of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ aright.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin and Hell are married unless repentance proclaims the divorce.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall not adjust our Bible to the age but before we have done with it, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Blessed are the peacemakers, and one sure way of peacemaking is to let the fire of contention alone. Neither fan it, nor stir it, nor add fuel to it, but let it go out by itself. Begin your ministry with one blind eye and one deaf ear.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
From all the afflictions, Your glory shall spring. And the deeper the sorrow, the louder you'll sing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you were God’s children you would loathe the very thought of the world’s evil joys, and your question would not be, “How far may we be like the world?” but your one cry would be, “How far can we get away from the world? How much can we come out from it?

You will never know God's strength until He has supported you in deep waters.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christ is the great central fact in the world's history. To Him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon Him.
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.
