Image
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Puritans were accustomed to explain faith by the word 'recumbency.' It meant leaning upon a thing. Lean with all your weight upon Christ. It would be a better illustration still if I said, fall at full length, and lie on the Rock of Ages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Methinks every true Christian should be exceedingly earnest in prayer concerning the souls of the ungodly and when they are so, how abundantly God blesses them and how the church prospers!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would as soon pray to God with machinery as to sing to God with machinery.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you hear a man rail at the Bible, you can usually conclude that he never reads it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If any man will preach as he should preach, his work will take more out of him than any other labor under heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I thought I could have leaped from earth to heaven at one spring when I first saw my sins drowned in the Redeemer's blood.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must trust as if it all depended on God and work as if it all depended on us
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If when I get to heaven the Lord shall say to me, Spurgeon, I want you to preach for all eternity, I would reply, Lord, give me a Bible, that is all I need.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The existence of hypocrites does not prove the non-existence of true believers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin is no little thing. It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced his heart . . . Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be ‘exceeding sinful’.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you truly believe in Jesus, it is for life. Saving faith is a life-long act.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We know of no cure for the love of evil in a Christian like daily communion with the Lord Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we pretend that we are seeking.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.
