Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.

Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.

Image
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.
Charles Spurgeon
Image

Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.

He who sings a song to Christ in the night, sings the best song in all the world for he sings from the heart.

Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You and your sins must separate or you and your God will never come together. No one sin may keep you they must all be given up, they must be brought out like Canaanite kings from the cave and be hanged up in the sun.

A rejoicing heart soon makes a praising tongue.

Dear friends, whenever you want to understand a text of Scripture, try to read the original
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Neither when we have chosen our way can we keep company with those who go the other way. There must come with the decision for truth a corresponding protest against error.

If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.
