Quote

Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumbers from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God, we will not!

Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember that thought is speech before God.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God looketh upon any thing we say, or any thing we do, and if He seeth Christ in it, He accepteth it but if there be no Christ, He putteth it away as a foul thing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fiery trials make golden Christians.

It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company they would not have laid the keel yet and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.

Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the kingdom
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let eloquence be flung to the dogs rather than souls be lost. What we want is to win souls. They are not won by flowery speeches.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are saved, the work is only half done until you are employed to bring others to Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Saints are described as fearing the name of God they are reverent worshippers they stand in awe of the Lord's authority they are afraid of offending Him they feel their own nothingness in the sight of the Infinite One.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I find myself frequently depressed - perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.

One of the most modern pretenders to inspiration is the Book of Mormon. I could not blame you should you laugh outright while I read aloud a page from that farrago.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Of all the things in the world that can set the heart burning, there is nothing like the presence of Jesus!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Conversion is not, as some suppose, a violent opening of the heart by grace, in which will, reason and judgment are all ignored or crushed. The season is not blinded, but enlightened and the whole man is made to act with a glorious liberty which it never knew till it fell under the restraints of grace.
Charles Spurgeon

There is not land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place... Let the Bible be opened to be read by all men, and no tyrant can long rule in peace... The religion of Jesus makes men think, and to make men think is always dangerous to a despot's power.
