A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.

Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
Charles Spurgeon

To rejoice in temporal comforts is dangerous, to rejoice in self is foolish, to rejoice in sin is fatal, but to rejoice in God is heavenly.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon

When you speak of heaven, let your face light up...When you speak of hell well then, your everyday face will do.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We Christians do not believe that Jesus Christ was the only one that ever rose from the dead. We believe that every death-bed is a resurrection that from every grave the stone, is rolled away.
