Image
I have noticed that whenever a person gives up his belief in the Word of God because it requires that he should believe a good deal, his unbelief requires him to believe a great deal more. If there be any difficulties in the faith of Christ, they are not one-tenth as great as the absurdities in any system of unbelief which seeks to take its place.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
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?

Image
I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When God accepts a sinner, He is, in fact, only accepting Christ. He looks into the sinner's eyes, and He sees His own dear Son's image there, and He takes him in.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.
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
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.

The Gospel is like a caged lion you don't have to defend it - just let it out of the cage.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.

Image
A mouthful of sea air, or a stiff walk in the wind's face would not give grace to the soul, but it would yield oxygen to the body, which is next best

I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.
