Charles Spurgeon
We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.
Charles Spurgeon
A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.
Charles Spurgeon
Trust in the person's promise who dares to refuse what they fear they cannot perform.
Charles Spurgeon
Remember that thought is speech before God.
Charles Spurgeon
When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we pretend that we are seeking.
Charles Spurgeon
I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
Charles Spurgeon
