Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.

Charles Spurgeon

He who is surety is never sure himself. Take advice, and never be security for more than you are quite willing to lose. Remember the word of the wise man: He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it and he that hateth suretyship is sure.
Charles Spurgeon

It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The worst evils of life are those which do not exist except in our imagination. If we had no troubles but real troubles, we should not have a tenth part of our present sorrows. We feel a thousand deaths in fearing one, but the (the Christian) cured of the disease of fearing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight she may pass through her fiery furnace, but Christ is in the midst of the flame with her.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.

The doctrines some now preach could not build a mouse-trap.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I knew I had 25 years left to live, I would spend 20 of them in preparation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.

To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world.

It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery restoring the prodigal to the Father’s house, and never making him say, “Father, I have sinned.”

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
