Quote

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.

Image
If our faith can live without God, it is not divinely created. If God had begotten it, it would wait upon Him as the flowers wait upon the dew.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
An unholy church! It is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hells laughter, heavens abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are few people who think what a solemn thing it is to be a Christian. I guess there is not a believer in the world who knows what a miracle it is to be kept a believer.

Image
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.

See yonder another King's garden, which the King waters with his bloody sweat-Gethsemane, whose bitter herbs are sweeter far to renewed souls than even Eden's luscious fruits. There the mischief of the serpent in the first garden was undone: there the curse was lifted from earth, and borne by the woman's promised seed.

The verb 'highly favored' (Luke 1:28) is the same as 'made us accepted' in Ephesians 1:6, referring to all of God's children. All true believers have been 'highly graced' by the Lord.
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.

The anvil is not afraid of the hammer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Many a text [of Scripture] is written in a secret ink which must be held to the fire of adversity to make it visible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You never have to drag mercy out of Christ, as money from a miser.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Make the most of prayer. ... Prayer is the master-weapon. We should be wise if we used it more, and did so with a more specific purpose.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.

If you hear a man rail at the Bible, you can usually conclude that he never reads it.

We must meditate, brothers. These grapes will yield no wine we tread upon it.

Image
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.

A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.
