Quote

The Christian is the most contented man in the world, but he is the least contented with the world. He is like a traveler in an inn, perfectly satisfied with the inn and its accommodation, considering it as an inn, but putting quite out of all consideration the idea of making it his home.

Image
The seasons change and you change, but the Lord abides evermore the same, and the streams of His love are as deep, as broad and as full as ever.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church is a soul-saving company or it is nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible until the very essence of the Bible flows from you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Free grace can go into the gutter, and bring up a jewel!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Secularism teaches us that we ought to look to this world. Christianity teaches us that the best way to prepare for this world is to be fully prepared for the next.
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
When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope about his neck, is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your god.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you rest on the finished work of Jesus you have already the best evidence of your salvation in the world you have God's word for it what more is needed?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To acknowledge you were wrong yesterday is to acknowledge you are wiser today.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.
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
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When all else is changing within and around, in God and His mercy no change can be found.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, without prayer what are the church's agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man's arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man's eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
