Image
We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That religion which costs a man nothing is usually worth nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Now' is the watchword of the wise.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We live charmed lives if we are living in the center of God's will. All the attacks that Satan can hurl against us are not only powerless to harm us, but are turned into blessing on the way.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A holy life is in itself a wonderful power, and will make up for many deficiencies it is in fact the best sermon a man can ever deliver.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Trust in the person's promise who dares to refuse what they fear they cannot perform.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. I never saw a perfect man. Every rose has its thorns, and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds and faults of some kind nestle in every bosom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Scripture is like a lion. Who ever heard of defending a lion? Just turn it loose it will defend itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
