Quote

That conversion which is all joy and lacks sorrow for sin, is very questionable.

Image
There cannot be heaven without Christ. He is the sum total of bliss the fountain from which heaven flows, the element of which heaven is composed. Christ is heaven and heaven is Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, to have “the word of Christ” always dwelling inside of us-in the memory, never forgotten in the heart, always loved in the understanding, really grasped with all the powers and passions of the mind fully submitted to its control!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is the trading of the heart with God.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more objects you set your heart upon, the more thorns there are to tear your peace of mind to shreds.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Inconsistent professors are the greatest stumbling blocks to the spread of the cause of Christ!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The petitions of Moses discomfited the enemy more than the fighting of Joshua. Yet both were needed. No, in the soul's conflict, force and fervor, decision and devotion, valour and vehemence, must join their forces, and all will be well.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He that reads his Bible to find fault with it will soon discover that the Bible finds fault with 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
All places are places of worship to a Christian. Wherever he is, he ought to be in a worshiping frame of mind.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Lost! Lost! Lost! Better a whole world on fire than a soul lost! Better every star quenched and the skies a wreck than a single soul to be lost!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope about his neck, is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.
