Quote

This day, my God, I hate sin not because it damns me, but because it has done Thee wrong. To have grieved my God is the worst grief to me.

We know of no cure for the love of evil in a Christian like daily communion with the Lord Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You say, 'On the off chance that I had somewhat more, I ought to be exceptionally fulfilled.' You commit an error. On the off chance that you are not content with what you have, you would not be fulfilled in the event that it were multiplied.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never be afraid of your Bibles.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Carve your name on hearts, not on marble
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I know nothing that can so comfort the soul, so calm the swelling billows of grief and sorrow, so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
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?
