Soul-serving requires a heart that beats hard against the ribs. It requires a soul full of the milk of human kindness. This is the sine qua non of success.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
Charles Spurgeon

A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it.
Charles Spurgeon
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
We know so little about the future that to worry about it would be the height of foolishness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith has a saving connection with Christ. Christ is on the shore, so to speak, holding the rope, and as we lay hold of it with the hand of our confidence, He pulls us to shore but all good works having no connection with Christ are drifted along down the gulf of fell despair.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a reading age, a preaching age, a working age, but it is not a praying age.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The angels must often be astonished at us and think we are the strangest creatures that well can be, yet they love us, and therefore they take a great interest in that Gospel that promotes our highest good.
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.

A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.

The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.
