The word of God is always most precious to the man who most lives upon it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
An unkind heart is the worst. It is a plague to its possessor, and a torment to those around him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is not a hard requirement - it is the natural duty of a creature to its creator, the simplest homage that human need can pay to divine liberality.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all points just as we are.

If I had only one more sermon to preach before I died, it would be about my Lord Jesus Christ. And I think that when we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon often does a man most good when it makes him most angry. Those people who walk down the aisles and say, I will never hear that man again, very often have an arrow rankling in their breast.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
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
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
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
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in God’s fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If your creed and Scripture do not agree, cut your creed to pieces, but make it agree with this book.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When God accepts a sinner, He is, in fact, only accepting Christ. He looks into the sinner's eyes, and He sees His own dear Son's image there, and He takes him in.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If any man will preach as he should preach, his work will take more out of him than any other labor under heaven.
