It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Stand still - keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, Go forward.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I hope the doctrine that Christians ought to be gloomy will soon be driven out of the universe. There are no people in the world who have such a right to be happy, nor have such cause to be joyful as the saints of the living God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
So long as we are receivers of mercy, we must be givers of thanks.
Charles Spurgeon

It is not well to make great changes in old age.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.
Charles Spurgeon
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
Faith is a principle which hath its root deeper feeling. We believe, whether we see or not.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ has died for me, I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christ also takes from us all inclination or power to boast of our national prestige. To me, it is prestige enough to be a Christian--to bear the cross Christ gives me to carry and to follow in the footsteps of the great Crossbearer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men talk of the mistakes of Scripture. I thank God that I have never met with any. Mistakes of translation there may be, for translators are men. But mistakes of the original word there never can be, for the God who spoke it is infallible, and so is every word he speaks, and in that confidence we find delightful rest.

True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God.

I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.
