When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Jesus Christ to keep you out of hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There cannot be heaven without Christ. He is the sum total of bliss the fountain from which heaven flows, the element of which heaven is composed. Christ is heaven and heaven is Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satan always hates Christian fellowship it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.

Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.

Image
Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!

Image
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would go to the deeps a hundred times a cheer a downcast spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As well might a gnat seek to drink in the ocean, as a finite creature to comprehend the Eternal God. A God whom we could understand would be no God. If we could grasp Him, He could not be infinite. If we could understand Him, He could not be divine.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is the holy reasoning of love it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember, Christ's scholars must study upon their knees.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hang that question up in your houses, What would Jesus do? and then think of another, How would Jesus do it? for what he would do, and how he would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It has been well said that if a great king should bring us a great heap of gold, and bid us take as much as we could count in a day, we should make a long day of it but to win souls is far nobler work. How is it that we so soon withdraw from it?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We live charmed lives if we are living in the center of God's will. All the attacks that Satan can hurl against us are not only powerless to harm us, but are turned into blessing on the way.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A vile imagination, once indulged, gets the key of our minds, and can get in again very easily, whether we will or no, and can so return as to bring seven other spirits with it more wicked than itself and what may follow no one knows.

Give because you love to give - as the flower pours forth its perfume.
