Image
We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Without Christ there is no hope.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Only he is fit to preach who cannot avoid preaching, who feels that woe is upon him unless he preach the gospel
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Conversion is not, as some suppose, a violent opening of the heart by grace, in which will, reason and judgment are all ignored or crushed. The season is not blinded, but enlightened and the whole man is made to act with a glorious liberty which it never knew till it fell under the restraints of grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let us go to Calvary to learn how we may be forgiven. And then let us linger there to learn how to forgive.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Calvinism did not spring from Calvin. We believe that it sprang from the great Founder of all truth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no form of sinfulness to which you are addicted which Christ cannot remove.

Said will be a little ahead, but done should follow at his heel.
