If you truly believe in Jesus, it is for life. Saving faith is a life-long act.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing puts life into men like a dying Savior.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Stand still - keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, Go forward.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He bequeaths us His manger, from which to learn how God came down to man, and His cross to teach us how man may go up to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You might not always get what you want, but you always get what you expect.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.
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
Image
I believe a very large majority of church goers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We say that Christ so died that He infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ's death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A father's holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To trifle with Scripture is to deprive yourself of its aid. Reverence it, and look up to God with devout gratitude for having given it to you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who sings a song to Christ in the night, sings the best song in all the world for he sings from the heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The religion of both Old and New Testaments is marked by fervent outspoken testimonies against evil. To speak smooth things in such a case may be sentimentalism, but it is not Christianity. It is a betrayal of the cause of truth and righteousness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Lord, let me find my life in thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more we pray, the more we shall want to pray. The more we pray, the more we can pray. The more we pray, the more we shall pray. He who prays little will pray less, but he who prays much will pray more. And he who prays more, will desire to pray more abundantly.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is the whole business of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To become a man was something, but to become a man of sorrows was far more to bleed, and die, and suffer.
