You must either give up your sins or give up all hope of heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christ also takes from us all inclination or power to boast of our national prestige. To me, it is prestige enough to be a Christian--to bear the cross Christ gives me to carry and to follow in the footsteps of the great Crossbearer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is the sum my brethren, preach Christ, always and evermore. He is the whole gospel. His person, offices, and work must be our one great all-comprehending theme
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The egg is white though the hen is black as coal...Out of evil comes good, through the great goodness of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A tear is enough water to float a desire to God.

There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write 'damnation' with your fingers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As long as a man is alive and out of hell, he cannot have any cause to complain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God has a way of giving by the cartloads to those who give away by shovelfuls.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The law shows the distance that exists between God and man the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin and Hell are married unless repentance proclaims the divorce.
