Image
True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There, poor sinner, take my garment, and put it on you shall stand before God as if you were Christ, and I will stand before God as if I had been the sinner I will suffer in the sinner's stead, and you shall be rewarded for works that you did not do, but which I did for you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is not land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place... Let the Bible be opened to be read by all men, and no tyrant can long rule in peace... The religion of Jesus makes men think, and to make men think is always dangerous to a despot's power.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Give me great sinners to make great saints! They are glorious raw material for Grace to work upon and when you do get them saved, they will shake the very gates of Hell!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more holy, the more humble.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. It is the most grievous sentence of the three, but it overflows with comfort. Strange is it that where misery was concentrated mercy reigned where sorrow reached her climax weary souls find rest.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will, but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumptions, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The grandest discourse ever delivered is an ostentatious failure if the doctrine of the grace of God be absent from it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not to be alarmed when Satan hinders us, for it is proof that we are on the Lord's side and are doing the Lord's work. In His strength, we will win the victory and triumph over our adversary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When all else is changing within and around, in God and His mercy no change can be found.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the thermometer of grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is the surest proof of man's natural enmity against God that he dares to impute falsehood to one who is truth itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all points just as we are.

Image
If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.
