No life can surpass that of a man who quietly continues to serve God in the place where providence has placed him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I met another man who considered himself perfect, but he was thoroughly mad and I do not believe that any of the pretenders to perfection are better than good maniacs... for while a man has got a spark of reason left in him, he cannot, unless he is the most impudent of impostors, talk about being perfect.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Don't just throw the seed at the people! Grind it into flour, bake it into bread, and slice it for them. And it wouldn't hurt to put a little honey on it
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The pleasures arising from a right understanding of the divine testimonies are of the most delightful order earthly enjoyments are utterly contemptible if compared with them. The sweetest joys, yea, the sweetest of the sweetest falls to his portion who has God's truth to be his heritage.

Carve your name on hearts, not on marble
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.

You will never know God's strength until He has supported you in deep waters.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am a pilgrim in the world, but at home in my God. In the earth I wander, but in God I dwell in a quiet habitation.

Image
The more you read the Bible and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never be afraid of your Bibles.
Charles Spurgeon

The existence of hypocrites does not prove the non-existence of true believers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Because God is the living God, He can hear because He is a loving God, He will hear because He is our covenant God, He has bound Himself to hear.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Pleasure, so called, is the murderer of serious thought. This is the age of excessive amusement. Everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are few people who think what a solemn thing it is to be a Christian. I guess there is not a believer in the world who knows what a miracle it is to be kept a believer.
