Quote

Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.

Image
Fine music without devotion is but a splendid garment upon a corpse.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some people are never content with their lot, let what will happen. Clouds and darkness are over their heads, alike whether it rain or shine. To them every incident is an accident, and every accident a calamity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather we with Him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendor.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Trust in God alone, and lean not on the needs of human help. Be not surprised when friends fail you it is a failing world. Never reckon upon immutability in man: inconstancy you may reckon upon without fear of disappointment.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Unless you have forgiven others you read your own death warrant when you repeat the Lord's Prayer
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you see no present advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honor to trust Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Said will be a little ahead, but done should follow at his heel.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more a church flourishes, the more, I believe, do hypocrites get in, just as you see many a noxious creeping thing come and get in a garden after a shower of rain. The very things that make glad the flowers bring out these noxious things. And so hypocrites get in and steal much of the church's sap away.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Word of God will be to you a bulwark and a high tower, a castle of defense against the foe. Oh, see to it that the Word of God is in you, in your very soul, permeating your thoughts, and so operating upon your outward life, that all may know you to be a true Bible-Christian, for they perceive it in your words and deeds.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Depend on it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus. We are not to be living specimens of men in fine preservation, but living sacrifices, whose lot is to be consumed
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not know if there is a more dreadful word in the English language than that word lost.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christians are not so much in danger when they are persecuted as when they are admired.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope about his neck, is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.
Charles Spurgeon

A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
