Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you truly believe in Jesus, it is for life. Saving faith is a life-long act.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must trust as if it all depended on God and work as if it all depended on us

The more you read the Bible and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it.
Charles Spurgeon

One night alone in prayer might make us new men, changed from poverty of soul to spiritual wealth, from trembling to triumphing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Don't you know that day dawns after night, showers displace drought, and spring and summer follow winter? Then, have hope! Hope forever, for God will not fail you!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves, for grace, like light, reveals our impurity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The preaching of Christ is the whip that flogs the devil. The preaching of Christ is the thunderbolt, the sound of which makes all hell shake.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The whole Christ seeks after each sinner, and when the Lord finds it, he gives himself to that one soul as if he had but that one soul to bless. How my heart admires the concentration of all the Godhead and humanity of Christ in his search after each sheep of his flock.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The verb 'highly favored' (Luke 1:28) is the same as 'made us accepted' in Ephesians 1:6, referring to all of God's children. All true believers have been 'highly graced' by the Lord.

Image
You must be in fashion is the utterance of weak headed mortals.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.

They must be slain by the Law before they can be made alive by the gospel.

A father's holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.
