The Book of Proverbs deals very hard blows against sluggards, and Christian ministers do well frequently to denounce the great sin of idleness, which is the mother of a huge family of sins.

Image
I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The disciples of a patient Saviour should be patient themselves.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible you open its cage and let it roar.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The worst evils of life are those which do not exist except in our imagination.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!

To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in the world. And with every soul you bring to Jesus Christ, you seem to get a new heaven here upon earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To trifle with Scripture is to deprive yourself of its aid. Reverence it, and look up to God with devout gratitude for having given it to you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more holy a man becomes, the more conscious he is of unholiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To believe a thing is to see the cool crystal water sparkling in the cup. But to meditate on it is to drink of it. Reading gathers the clusters contemplation squeezes forth their generous juice.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
May your convictions be deep, your love real, and your desires earnest
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The first thing in faith is knowledge. What we know we must also agree unto. What we agree unto we must rest upon alone for salvation. It will not save me to know that Christ is a Saviour but it will save me to trust Him to be my Saviour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Atonement by the blood of Jesus is not an arm of Christian truth it is the heart of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Depend on it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be a full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.
