It is not the bigness of the words you utter, but the force with which you deliver them.

Image
There is no form of sinfulness to which you are addicted which Christ cannot remove.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We have all heard the story of the man who preached so well and lived so badly, that when he was in the pulpit everybody said he ought never to come out again, and when he was out of it they all declared he never ought to enter it again.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Puritans were accustomed to explain faith by the word 'recumbency.' It meant leaning upon a thing. Lean with all your weight upon Christ. It would be a better illustration still if I said, fall at full length, and lie on the Rock of Ages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You can recollect the sayings of great men, you treasure up verse of renowned poets ought you not be equally profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty or overthrow a doubt?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing can be more sublime this side of heaven than the singing of this noble Psalm by a vast congregation. It is all ablaze with grateful adoration.
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
Image
A prayer less soul is a Christ less soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You will never be saved against your will God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Brethren, who are we that God should have been so good to us?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more of heaven there is in our lives, the less of earth we shall covet.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
