Image
A father's holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.
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
Let me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed and let my motto be, Ready for either.
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

Live in such a way that men may recognize that you have been with Jesus.

If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.
Charles Spurgeon

The world's one and only remedy is the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The vendors of flowers in the streets of London are wont to commend them to customers by crying: All a blowing and a growing. It would be no small praise to Christians if we could say as much for them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world in its very essence it is for ever good news.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fine music without devotion is but a splendid garment upon a corpse.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Earnestness is good it means business. But fanaticism overdoes, and is consequently reactionary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!
