When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.

Image
This day, my God, I hate sin not because it damns me, but because it has done Thee wrong. To have grieved my God is the worst grief to me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer irrigates the fields of life with the waters which are stored up in the reservoirs of promise.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am convinced that there is no great distance between heaven and earth, that the distance lies in our finite minds. When the Beloved visits us in the night, He turns our chambers into the vestibules of His palace halls. Earth rises to heaven when heaven comes down to earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Brethren, who are we that God should have been so good to us?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The full he empties, and the empty he fills.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you have no share in the living Lord may God have mercy upon you! If you have no share in Christ's rising from the dead then you will not be raised up in the likeness of His glorified body. If you do not attain to that resurrection from among the dead then you must abide in death.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The moment the church of God shall despise the pulpit, God will despise her.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our happy God should be worshiped by a happy people.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Doubts about the fundamentals of the gospel exist in certain churches, I am told, to a large extent. My dear friends, where there is a warm-hearted church, you do not hear of them. I never saw a fly light on a red-hot plate.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Book of Proverbs deals very hard blows against sluggards, and Christian ministers do well frequently to denounce the great sin of idleness, which is the mother of a huge family of sins.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Love to Jesus is the basis of all true piety, and the intensity of this love will ever be the measure of our zeal for His glory. Let us love Him with all our hearts, and then diligent labor, and consistent living will be sure to follow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe a very large majority of church goers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!
