I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you receive Christ into your heart, He cannot be taken away from you!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you rest on the finished work of Jesus you have already the best evidence of your salvation in the world you have God's word for it what more is needed?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Don't just throw the seed at the people! Grind it into flour, bake it into bread, and slice it for them. And it wouldn't hurt to put a little honey on it
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, without prayer what are the church's agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man's arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man's eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly. Others give but an occasional pluck at the rope. But he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.

Image
Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some ministers would make good martyrs: they are so dry they would burn well.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the best response to hatred.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Bread is a second cause the LORD Himself is the first source of our sustenance. He can work without the second cause as well as with it and we must not tie Him down to one mode of operation. Let us not be too eager after the visible, but let us look to the invisible God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer must not be our chance work but our daily business, our habit and vocation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.

That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.
