Image
Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this world's comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, It passeth away for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Earnestness is good it means business. But fanaticism overdoes, and is consequently reactionary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The greater our present trials, the louder will our future songs be, and the more intense our joyful gratitude.
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
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The law shows the distance that exists between God and man the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Blessed are the peacemakers, and one sure way of peacemaking is to let the fire of contention alone. Neither fan it, nor stir it, nor add fuel to it, but let it go out by itself. Begin your ministry with one blind eye and one deaf ear.
Charles Spurgeon

Fiery trials make golden Christians.

Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the kingdom

Image
It's a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.
Charles Spurgeon
Image

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

Image
Ah! dear friend, you little know the possibilities which are in you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sickness has frequently been of more use to the saints of God than health has.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more we pray, the more we shall want to pray. The more we pray, the more we can pray. The more we pray, the more we shall pray. He who prays little will pray less, but he who prays much will pray more. And he who prays more, will desire to pray more abundantly.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Amusement should be used to do us good “like a medicine”: it must never be used as the food of the man...Many have had all holy thoughts and gracious resolutions stamped out by perpetual trifling. Pleasure so called is the murderer of thought. This is the age of excessive amusement: everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle.

Our happy God should be worshiped by a happy people.
