We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
...never go to look on man till you have first looked on your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christ also takes from us all inclination or power to boast of our national prestige. To me, it is prestige enough to be a Christian--to bear the cross Christ gives me to carry and to follow in the footsteps of the great Crossbearer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our happy God should be worshiped by a happy people.
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
I will do as much as I can, says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To believe a thing is to see the cool crystal water sparkling in the cup. But to meditate on it is to drink of it. Reading gathers the clusters contemplation squeezes forth their generous juice.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christians are not so much in danger when they are persecuted as when they are admired.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hang that question up in your houses, What would Jesus do? and then think of another, How would Jesus do it? for what he would do, and how he would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe a very large majority of church goers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it

True prayer is the trading of the heart with God.

We cannot always trace God's hand but we can always trust God's heart.
