Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, Don't be a minister if you can help it, because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We may expect answers to prayer, and should not be easy without them any more than we should be if we had written a letter to a friend upon important business, and had received no reply.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow. Cleopatra was poisoned by an asp that was brought to her in a basket of fair flowers. Sharp-edged tools, long handled, wound at last.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We Christians do not believe that Jesus Christ was the only one that ever rose from the dead. We believe that every death-bed is a resurrection that from every grave the stone, is rolled away.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must meditate, brothers. These grapes will yield no wine we tread upon it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If God requires of the sinner, dead in sin, that he should take the first step, then he requires just that which renders salvation as impossible under the gospel as it was under the law, since man is as unable to believe as he is to obey.

Image
Men will never be great in theology until they are great in suffering.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Those who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls.
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
Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When home is ruled according to God's Word, angels might be asked to stay a night with us, and they would not find themselves out of their element.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Ah! dear friend, you little know the possibilities which are in you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Trust in God alone, and lean not on the needs of human help. Be not surprised when friends fail you it is a failing world. Never reckon upon immutability in man: inconstancy you may reckon upon without fear of disappointment.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is one of the best attested facts on record. There were so many witnesses to behold it, that if we do in the least degree receive the credibility of men's testimonies, we cannot and we dare not doubt that Jesus rose from the dead.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.

He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them.
