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.

Image
A man's contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions. Alexander the Great, with all the world at his feet, cries for another world to conquer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. If it were not for the laws of the land, we should soon see a massacre of the righteous. Jesus was watched by his enemies, who were thirsting for his blood: his disciples must not look for favour where their Master found hatred and death.

Every man needs a blind eye and a deaf ear, so when people applaud, you'll only hear half of it, and when people salute, you'll only see part of it. Believe only half the praise and half the criticism.

Image
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.

You'll never be a winner of souls unless you're first a weeper for souls.

The most useful members of a church are usually those who would be doing harm if they were not doing good.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our great object of glorifying God is to be mainly achieved by the winning of souls Do not close a single sermon without addressing the ungodly.

The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
