No matter how dear you are to God, if pride is harboured in your spirit, He will whip it out of you. They that go up in their own estimation must come down again by His discipline

If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasures and pursuits, your profession is false.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Christian's life should be one of thankfulness to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will, but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumptions, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every sinner must be quickened by the same life, made obedient to the same gospel, washed in the same blood, clothed in the same righteousness, filled with the same divine energy, and eventually taken up to the same heaven, and yet in the conversion of no two sinners will you find matters precisely the same.

...never go to look on man till you have first looked on your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that in public worship we should do well to be bound by no human rules, and constrained by no stereotyped order.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never fear dying, beloved. Dying is the last, but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about. Fear living...that is a hard battle to fight, a stern discipline to endure, a rough voyage to undergo.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Blood, always precious, is priceless when it streams from Immanuel's side.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Great faith must have great trials.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The assurance of every truth of Scripture is just the beauty of it. First because He has promised to do it and God's promises are bonds that never yet were dishonored. Secondly, because Christ Jesus hath taken an oath that He will do it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
One of the greatest rewards that we ever receive for serving God is the permission to do still more for Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember the goodness of God in the frost of adversity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all points just as we are.

It is wonderful how God works by our hands, and yet His own hand does it all.
