Oh, the hard, cruel thoughts which men have toward one another when they are angry! They kill and slay a thousand times over. These hasty sins are soon forgotten by us, but they are not forgotten by God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in the world. And with every soul you bring to Jesus Christ, you seem to get a new heaven here upon earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer can never be in excess.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The change is radical it gives us new natures, it makes us love what we hated and hate what we loved, it sets us in a new road it makes our habits different, it makes our thoughts different, it makes us different in private, and different in public.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who does not long to know more of Christ, knows nothing of him yet.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You need not to know much about Heaven-it is where Christ is, and that is Heaven enough for 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.

It is far easier to fight with sin in public than to pray against it in private.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.

Image
Never fear dying, beloved. Dying is the last, but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about. Fear living...that is a hard battle to fight, a stern discipline to endure, a rough voyage to undergo.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A father's holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Shall I give you yet another reason why you should pray? I have preached my very heart out. I could not say any more than I have said. Will not your prayers accomplish that which my preaching fails to do? Is it not likely that the Church has been putting forth its preaching hand but not its praying hand? Oh dear friends! Let us agonize in prayer.

Has there not been, sometimes, this temptation to do a great deal for Christ, but not to live a great deal with Christ?

When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.

Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?

Live in such a way that men may recognize that you have been with Jesus.
