Quote

We are one in Christ let us be friends with one another but let us never be friends with one another’s error. If I be wrong, rebuke me sternly I can bear it, and bear it cheerfully and if ye be wrong, expect the like measure from me, and neither peace nor parley with your mistakes.

I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, Don't be a minister if you can help it, because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.

Image
I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.
Charles Spurgeon

Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.

It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company they would not have laid the keel yet and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.

Image
The worst evils of life are those which do not exist except in our imagination.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is the holy reasoning of love it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not to be alarmed when Satan hinders us, for it is proof that we are on the Lord's side and are doing the Lord's work. In His strength, we will win the victory and triumph over our adversary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Word of God will be to you a bulwark and a high tower, a castle of defense against the foe. Oh, see to it that the Word of God is in you, in your very soul, permeating your thoughts, and so operating upon your outward life, that all may know you to be a true Bible-Christian, for they perceive it in your words and deeds.

Wash your face every morning in a bath of praise.

Music is at its best when it is pleasingly melancholic.

Image
Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is wonderful how God works by our hands, and yet His own hand does it all.

The Puritans were accustomed to explain faith by the word 'recumbency.' It meant leaning upon a thing. Lean with all your weight upon Christ. It would be a better illustration still if I said, fall at full length, and lie on the Rock of Ages.

Calvinism did not spring from Calvin. We believe that it sprang from the great Founder of all truth.
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.

If Christ is not all to you He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something He must be everything, and if He be not everything He is nothing to you.

The more a church flourishes, the more, I believe, do hypocrites get in, just as you see many a noxious creeping thing come and get in a garden after a shower of rain. The very things that make glad the flowers bring out these noxious things. And so hypocrites get in and steal much of the church's sap away.
