Image
We must mark God's providence leading us and if providence tarries, tarry till providence comes
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Death has no sting to a Believer. Once death was the penalty of sin-sin being forgiven, the penalty ceases and Christians do not die, now, as a punishment for their sin, but they die that they may be prepared to live!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We declare, upon Scriptural authority, that the human will is so desperately set on mischief, so depraved, and so inclined to everything that is evil, and so disinclined to everything that is good, that without the powerful, supernatural, irresistible influence of the Holy Spirit, no human will ever be constrained towards Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who is not angry at transgression becomes a partaker in it.
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
We may expect answers to prayer, and should not be easy without them any more than we should be if we had written a letter to a friend upon important business, and had received no reply.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember, Christ's scholars must study upon their knees.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is reason at rest in God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is not a hard requirement - it is the natural duty of a creature to its creator, the simplest homage that human need can pay to divine liberality.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No Scripture is exhausted by a single explanation. The flowers of God's garden bloom not only double, but sevenfold they are continually pouring forth fresh fragrance.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer girds human weakness with divine strength, turns human folly into heavenly wisdom, and gives to troubled mortals the peace of God. We know not what prayer can do.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You will never know God's strength until He has supported you in deep waters.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He that reads his Bible to find fault with it will soon discover that the Bible finds fault with him.
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
If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.
