You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We have all heard the story of the man who preached so well and lived so badly, that when he was in the pulpit everybody said he ought never to come out again, and when he was out of it they all declared he never ought to enter it again.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer girds human weakness with divine strength, turns human folly into heavenly wisdom, and gives to troubled mortals the peace of God. We know not what prayer can do.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
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
Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I knew I had 25 years left to live, I would spend 20 of them in preparation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no reward from God to those who seek it from men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Jesus Christ does not save the worthy, but the unworthy. Your plea must not be righteousness but guilt
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who, despite the teaching of Scripture, tries to pray without a Savior, insults the deity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight she may pass through her fiery furnace, but Christ is in the midst of the flame with her.
