Dying is the last,but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Love to Jesus is the basis of all true piety, and the intensity of this love will ever be the measure of our zeal for His glory. Let us love Him with all our hearts, and then diligent labor, and consistent living will be sure to follow.

Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!

Charles Spurgeon
Image
The bounden duty of a true believer towards men who profess to be Christians, and yet deny the Word of the Lord, and reject the fundamentals of the Gospel, is to come out from among them
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our spiritual manhood in heaven will discard many things which we now count precious, as a full-grown man discards the treasures of his childhood.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house, but an inn, in which we sup and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Ah! dear friend, you little know the possibilities which are in you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.

Image
If there be any one point in which the Christian church ought to keep its fervor at a white heat, it is concerning missions. If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate lukewarmness,it is the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world.

I would go to the deeps a hundred times a cheer a downcast spirit.
