Image
Trials teach us what we are they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The religion of both Old and New Testaments is marked by fervent outspoken testimonies against evil. To speak smooth things in such a case may be sentimentalism, but it is not Christianity. It is a betrayal of the cause of truth and righteousness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Gospel is like a caged lion you don't have to defend it - just let it out of the cage.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Repentance will not make you see Christ but to see Christ will give you repentance.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Many a text [of Scripture] is written in a secret ink which must be held to the fire of adversity to make it visible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fine music without devotion is but a splendid garment upon a corpse.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
One night alone in prayer might make us new men, changed from poverty of soul to spiritual wealth, from trembling to triumphing.
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
Image
A little faith will bring your soul to heaven a great faith will bring heaven to your soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is with us, and His power is around us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother.
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
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All good is born in prayer, and all good springs from it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It seems to me that doubt is worse than trial. I had sooner suffer any affliction than be left to question the gospel or my own interest in it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Methinks every true Christian should be exceedingly earnest in prayer concerning the souls of the ungodly and when they are so, how abundantly God blesses them and how the church prospers!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There cannot be heaven without Christ. He is the sum total of bliss the fountain from which heaven flows, the element of which heaven is composed. Christ is heaven and heaven is Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I hope the doctrine that Christians ought to be gloomy will soon be driven out of the universe. There are no people in the world who have such a right to be happy, nor have such cause to be joyful as the saints of the living God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who climbs above the cares of this world, and turns his face to his God, has found the sunny side of life.
