Quote

Prayer is the forerunner of mercy. Turn to sacred history, and you will find that scarecely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication.

Remember that thought is speech before God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I cannot agree with those who say that they have 'new truth' to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other that which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The observant man recognizes many mysteries into which he can not pretend to see, and he remembers that the world is too wide for the eye of one man. But the modern sophists are sure of everything, especially if it contradicts the Bible.
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
May every one of us believe Him better, and have greater thoughts of Him, and never let us be guilty henceforth of confining, as it were, within iron bonds the limitless One of Israel.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A tear is enough water to float a desire to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Mi fe no descansa en lo que soy, o lo que seré, o como me siento, o lo que sé, sino en lo que Cristo és, en lo que él ha hecho, y en lo que él está haciendo en mí - My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon often does a man most good when it makes him most angry. Those people who walk down the aisles and say, I will never hear that man again, very often have an arrow rankling in their breast.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible you open its cage and let it roar.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The world's one and only remedy is the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you simply take the name of Christ upon you and call yourself His servant, yet do not obey Him, but follow your own whim, or your own hereditary prejudice, or the custom of some erroneous church-you are no servant of Christ. If you really are a servant of Christ, your first duty is to obey Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our misery is that we thirst so little for these sublime things, and so much for the mocking trifles of time and space.
Charles Spurgeon
